More quotes by Chris Lilley
I get bored with the constant probing for the cliched tears of the clown, the dark side of the comic.
Chris Lilley
Religious humor is not really my area, so I probably wouldn't do anything about that, or politics or something.

You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.
Chris Lilley
When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I'd constantly be that guy who'd get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.

Chris Lilley
I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.
Chris Lilley

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
I didn't do very well academically I was always in the bottom class.
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 have a massive guilt thing about money.
Chris Lilley
I'll probably be still playing a school girl when I'm 60.
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 like the boundaries, the kinds of conventions of a documentary and having to work within that.
