“People often expect that I should know a lot of things because I'm black. I don't really explain it to people, but it's like, I'm from Australia, my Mum's Aussie, and I grew up with five other Aussie brothers and sisters.”

“I got into standup because I wanted to be an actor, and then I ended up loving standup for the next eleven years.”

“I love playing Eleven.”

“I always knew I wanted to make movies since I was around eleven. I never thought of it as wanting to do straight-up comedy. Even now, I don't see things in terms of genre.”
