When I was growing up in Newcastle, there was one other Indian girl, and we got confused for each other constantly.

I have to say that New York is so different than the New York in 'Friends.'

I try to just stay in the present moment as much as possible.

I think Australia focuses on people that had a big start at home, like 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours' graduates, and the truth is those shows are pretty white for the most part. The diverse actors go straight to the States because that is where more diverse stories and opportunities are being presented.

If I'm really considering doing film from now on then that is the smart thing to do, or you can go either way. You can just do the same character over and over again and make a different comedy like over and over again.

I've always felt that acting is acting, at the end of the day, so whether you're doing comedy or heavy drama or anything else in between, you always have to bring a semblance of honesty to it. It's all make believe.

Most people haven't seen my dramatic work, but I did 10 years of theater before I ever became a comic. I'm just better known for comedy.

The Daily Show' was really a turning point, where people started to realize that comedy can have a true cultural impact and can have something to say that is serious.
