Dogs are more of a responsibility than kids - you can send a kid off to their grandparents or a nanny, but with a dog you can't do that.

There are no real guidelines or maps in Australia as to how to write a show, whereas in Hollywood it's where the TV industry is created and there's a lot of work that goes into development.

I've always been fairly confident in my acting.
I had a good theater career for years. I played Hamlet when I was 22, and I've played some really great roles.
