More quotes by Chris Lilley
I have a massive guilt thing about money.
Chris Lilley
I guess my performance at school was doing school musicals, so I was a knight as well at the back of the stage in Camelot. It was all those kind of things. It wasn't the stuff that I wanted to do. The real funny character stuff came out when I was in control of it myself and writing it myself.

Chris Lilley

Chris Lilley
I'm not a big fan of 'Jersey Shore' and those kinds of shows where people are really playing up to the cameras.
Chris Lilley
I'm not really a management-type person. It doesn't suit my personality to be bossing people around.
Chris Lilley
I never like to think of any character as being over. I'm always thinking of different ways of bringing them back.
Chris Lilley
Like, Australians definitely don't walk around dressed up in blackface going Ha-ha.
