  • 1. I figured out it was a social thing what women were allowed to do. At a very young age I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
  • 2. I love physical kinds of comedy and getting down and dirty and doing stunts.

I think people related to JR back then because we all have someone we know exactly like him. Everyone in the world knows a JR.

  • 2. I did not want to put myself on the line as an Australian playing Britain's greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive possessive – and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger – or my own reputation.

4 Anniversary
