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

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 like the boundaries, the kinds of conventions of a documentary and having to work within that.
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'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
You feel the pressure of going to university because you need a back-up plan, which is why I enrolled.
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.
Chris Lilley
Mostly, what I watch are reality shows and documentaries.
