Matt's quotes

I've recorded a couple of songs for this series. In series one I did three songs...and I've recorded a couple of ballads for this series. I'm no singer, but what you see is me. There's three or four times where I kind of croon to people and cats in the series.

I've done freaks and weirdos and drug-using musos - Henry's all of that as well, but I'm never ever the romantic lead. It's one of the main things that made me want to do this in the first place. It's a rare opportunity for me. It's usually the Rodger Corsers who get the lead role and get the gal.

Particularly by episode two. There are several sad episodes, but that's the really sad one, I think. When Suzy just can't see Henry. After the romance that was built up to in series one, they wanted to take it out somewhere else. They didn't want to just continue this romance that can happen, so they've just played with time and space and different worlds and them not being able to see each other.

I'll be on a packed tube carriage and some stranger will shout from the opposite end: 'Oi Super Hans! This crack's really moreish!'

I met a bloke on holiday in Morocco who was a soldier who had been at Sandhurst with Prince William. He said, "Wills is a big Super Hans fan!" I couldn't understand it. He probably thought 'crack' was the Irish word for fun.

We shot a scene where Super Hans gives oral relief to Jeremy. When I got back to Australia they called to say they'd forgotten to get the shot from Jeremy's point of view so they were thinking of flying me back to do it again. That would have been the furthest anyone's ever gone for a head job since the Vietnam war.

The casting director asked me if I acted and I said yes even though I'd never done any before.

I loved it for the first ten years, then despised it for the last five.

I used to turn up to work on building sites wearing this white mohican with pink tips and there'd be all these scaffolders called Gary saying, "Who's this poofter?" I think that was a precursor to my career.
