“They think my life is glamourous. It’s not true. I obviously get to come in and do radio interviews. That’s the glamour. But other than that, I eat and sleep and that’s it. Eat, sleep and do shows.”

The contrast was incredible.

Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things – it almost becomes second nature to do so.

I started with ballet and then my cousin Sarah introduced me to her tap teachers.

The process of rehearsal means you learn so much and really get the chance to develop your work on a character.

People do more important jobs than acting in film that should be recognised, but for some reason it’s big money, so people are elevated in status. If I was a bus driver, I’m sure you wouldn’t be interviewing me.

If I could have anyone on speed dial it would be George Clooney. He seems like a cool guy who would give good advice.

The most famous person in my phone is Lindsay Lohan. We starred in ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen’ together in 2004 and we’ve stayed in touch.

This form of dancing can’t be dated, it’s such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an an instrument.

I started tapping and I was okay. Then after about two years my feet knew what they were doing!

I think ‘Tap Dogs’ has lasted so long because people have a natural interest in tap dancing.

At 15 I auditioned for 42nd Street in Australia. Dein Perry was in that show. I actually got the job but I couldn’t do it because I was only 15. Legally I needed to have another 15-year-old to cover consecutive nights.

During ‘Saturday Night Fever’ at the end of the first act dance number I tried to perform a split-jump

I don’t care if people think I’m gay. I know I’m not, so it doesn’t bother me.

You eventually get used to looking at girls picking their leotards out of their bums and that sort of stuff.

I love travelling, and had the pleasure of being in the most developed country in the world and then parts of two of the most pristine natural areas of the world: the Galapagos islands and the Equador Amazon jungle.

My favorite thing to do is to wind those guys up by hitting on their girlfriends. I say, ‘I think your girlfriend’s gorgeous, but it’s all right, I’m gay.’ They get very nervous after a few minutes!

I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I’d meet beautiful women in the rain.

hen you’re in your third adulthood, the one that leads to the grave, and you ask yourself, “What will I do between now and then?” Instead of thinking in terms of glamour, you start thinking in terms of reform – your contribution to the world.

The power of the glamorous resides in their supposed happiness: the power of the bureaucrat in his supposed authority.

Mini-tour life isn’t a glamorous, professional golf life. If you’re not on the PGA Tour, it is very tough financially.

Having adventures and covering the activities of world leaders, appealed to me greatly. It was a very glamorous life in those days.

Insomnia is a glamorous term for thoughts you forgot to have in the day.

I can tell you this: Stand-up is not glamorous.

It was a very decadent, very glamorous business that took advantage of a lot of people for a long time and didn’t do things right and had a poor business model.
