I've always done live art history lectures and small documentaries in the past in Australia, on Australian art and art galleries, so I've already done a lot of that.

We need to hear stories from older women. There's a wealth of wisdom and real resilience there, but they're silenced.

If the only reason to be on stage communicating with people is to tell them a joke and make them laugh, that seems thin for me. That has a place - I don't think it should stop happening - but for me, I don't know. I just don't.

To get recognized in New York is weird because that's definitely a place you shouldn't be recognized.

My brain is just so busy. I'm inattentive; I'm a daydreamer: the space cadet kind.

The idea that standup is a thing with defined boundaries is kind of ludicrous.

I've always wanted to make Australian art interesting. To get a different audience watching art documentaries would be great.

That's the problem with ADHD: I have no focus; I get bored.

Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're not homophobic.

Just because it's been around for centuries, doesn't mean it's cool to be a creepy old man.

Most accountants are strange - let's be honest.

I've walked away in the middle of a conversation and had no idea that was wrong until someone told me I was being rude.
