More quotes by Chris Lilley
People are always nice I never get anything mean said to me on the street.
Chris Lilley
I like the boundaries, the kinds of conventions of a documentary and having to work within that.
Chris Lilley
It's pretty awful being told you're a racist.

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
I don't just want to upset people and shock people by saying something really outrageous.
Chris Lilley
I didn't do very well academically I was always in the bottom class.

Chris Lilley
Like, Australians definitely don't walk around dressed up in blackface going Ha-ha.
Chris Lilley
I would love to play a British character one day. My accent wavers between Scottish and Irish very easily, though.
Chris Lilley
I'm definitely attracted to the idea of people that have these big aspirations that the audience know might never happen, but they're lost in them.
Chris Lilley
Fans feel they know me, so they want me to be on-the-spot funny, and it's hard to fulfil their expectations.
Chris Lilley
I get asked to do stupid things like panel shows and talk shows and things.
Chris Lilley
I'm interested in youth culture - when your parents are running your life, but you think you're the big man - but I'm not trying to make a statement.
Chris Lilley
I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.
