Chris Lilley Quotes

I love doing talk shows.

Television, when you're on the show, it becomes a big, happy family.

I did a few TV shows in Germany, lots of media.

I get asked to do panel shows, and reality stuff, like getting in a cage with a shark. I got asked to do a 'Strictly' special, but it's not my bag. If I'm being interviewed, that's OK, but anything else fills me with dread.

Being in New York for 10 days during the World Series and appearing on a bunch of shows, I felt like it was a trial run to have more of a studio presence.
