“Yes, I felt like I needed like Olympic athlete dedication to make it in the entertainment business. I mean the odds of making it are so small. One to make it in my home country and then to come to Hollywood and to make it. The odds are, you know, millions to one, really, of having their career that I've had. So, you know, like an Olympic gymnast if you meet people and they're incredible gymnastics. But then you talk to them about their personal life or their skills. And then basically. You can tell they're like stunted. I guess is the right word. So they've had this drive and this focus and they've achieved and if they're an athlete, you know, they get to the Olympics or to me, I've been in an Oscar nominated movie, haven't won, obviously. The vision hasn't come true. But”

“Well, now I care about my health and well-being. But back then, I guess, I thought. Oh, well, I'm becoming successful and this is helping me become successful.”

“Didn't say anything. I just kind of walked out and thought, oh, that guy's an idiot. He doesn't understand the distinction between a comedy show and, you know, a real person. And so that was just a bit hurtful. But I guess it must. But then on the other hand, it's hard to feel sorry for myself because then obviously not in Australia, but then when I came to America and played like fat Amy, which was probably my most famous character, I mean now I'm making millions of dollars from playing the fat funny girl and really leaning into that. And so”

“The thing is, like, because when it's acting, it's not quite you. And only on a rare occasion would people confuse, like, because obviously the guys on the show were pretty great and respectful off camera and everything. It was that was just the character I was playing. and I was lucky to be on a comedy show and to be earning money that way. But then I remember going to a post office and just like mailing a letter. And the guy was obviously a fan of the show. And so I was saying, oh, Tula, that was my character name. Oh, he's so fat. And like here in real life was saying stuff like the guys on the show, but this is now real life.”

“Yeah, well, like, I was the obese girlfriend of one of the guys. And so on the one hand, there's that, but then on the other hand, I felt like... I knew I was eating very badly. I mean, my diet at that point was just carbs, pretty much. I remember coming to New York and going to comedy school and, you know, just eating a pint of ice cream for dinner or a whole big bag of chips or something. And then so on the one hand, I could be confident and know that this could be good for me career-wise, but on the other hand, I knew I'm not treating myself right. This is not good. I'm not being healthy. And so I had both going on in my mind at the same time.”

“Well I guess I was quite shocked in my diaries when I looked back at them of research for the book. Even when I was 16 and I wasn't big at all, I was very athletic, played lots of different sports. And my first goal was to lose two kilos. I guess because my mum had made a comment at some point, not for any bad reasons. She just, you know, thought she had weight issues herself and just thought, you know, if I lost those two kilos, I might feel better in myself or something like that. And so I just, when I gained all that weight, there's kind of a dichotomy because at one point, I'm like, this could help me professionally in comedy. And, you know, big girls do better in comedy. I can see a pigeonhole for myself in that area and you can be successful. And I'd just gotten on a television show when I was 23.”

“Yeah, and it is true. It is true. People laughed, laughed more and I lent into comedy and then I got a scholarship from Nicole Kidman to go to New York and I went to Second City Comedy School in New York at the time. And yeah, and then I just realized I had quite a good knack for it. And that was taking off more than the dramatic acting.”

“In more in comedy, the science of it is more people want to be your friend rather than they don't want to be your lover. They want to be your friend. And they think, you know, you'd be good to hang out with and have a laugh with. And so it was really interesting when I gained all this weight. I was like, ah, I think I'm going to lean into comedy because even though I'd tried to be a serious actress at first, I was like, hang on, this which could be seen as a huge negative a lot of people would be going, oh no, you know, I put on all this weight. Instead, I went the opposite way and was like, no, I could use this to my advantage. I like comedy. I think I should go into comedy and use being bigger as just a good tool in my comedy toolbox.”

“I was like, why is that girl getting more laughs? And I honestly thought, I mean, one, she's hilarious, but it's because she's bigger and people like laughing at bigger people. And then I did this subject at university called Comedy and Power. And basically, you know, there is a science to, if you normally, if you want to sleep with somebody, you're not normally wanting to laugh at them. So, you know, if you want to sleep with someone, you're into them, attracted to them. But normally the people that you want to laugh at are people that have some kind of immediate physical irregularity. Like, you know, bigger women do well in comedy. You might be really tall, really short, you might have a really big nose, something about you that's quite distinctive that people can instantly go, aha, you know, and they...”

“So when I was like about twenty one into like 22, I had something called PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and one of the key signifiers of that was like rapid weight gain. So all of a sudden, I mean, when I first started acting, I was just a regular size, a bit athletic looking, but pretty regular. And then all of a sudden I gained 30 kilos and was like, I had some other symptoms as well. I had like some dark hair on my arms and there's a couple of key signifiers to it. And then I went to the doctors and I said, oh yeah, you've got PCOS. And in that first play that I'd written when I was 21, I'd cast a girl who was bigger than, you know, quite a large girl. And then I'd notice on stage, like, she'd get way more laughs than me. And I kind of wrote all the roles quite evenly.”

“So I sat up quite late, I guess I started like eighteen turning nineteen, which is quite late, I think. A lot of people start. Yeah, 12, 13, I guess. And then that was like proper acting classes, like proper like with people wanting to do it as a career. And then I had, I wrote my first play at 21. I just wrote it in two nights. And then it won this playwriting competition and got put on. And I was like, holy crap. And then a television station gave me $90,000 to put it on professionally, which was like kind of insane, great luck for the first thing I'd ever written. And I realized from that point, nobody saw me as an actor. I wasn't like Nicole Kidman or that, you know, in that vein. So I realized pretty quick I had to write myself my own material if I was going to make it. But I didn't start earning a professional, like a full-time wage until I was a regular on a TV show at 23.”

“Because if I didn't attend in person 80% of the time. So it was exhausting. Often I would fly, have to fly interstate. I'd be filming in another state. I'd have to get up at 4 a.m. in the morning and fly to Sydney to law school and then fly all the way back that night.”

“So basically, yeah. So I'd be in theater shows at first and then it would be TV shows. And my law school had an 80% attendance rule. So basically if I started in a semester and then for some reason my filming schedule or whatever, I'd have to repeat the subject”

“And so, you know, and they would have loved to have gone around and said, you know, oh, my daughter's a lawyer at this firm. And that would have been a great, you know, great career that they would have thought. My parents had to work really hard to send me to the school that I did at one point, apart from selling all the dog products. My dad was also working at the gas station overnight. And, you know, just to afford my school uniforms and stuff like that. So for them a successful outcome would have been, okay, she got into the top law school and now she's going to be a lawyer and therefore all that money spent on education was worth it.”

“Yeah, probably. Well because my father had dropped out I definitely wanted to have a college degree, and he always said that was his biggest regret that he never got his business degree. And because I was so hard to get into this law school, it almost had to be near perfect in all your exams. So I just thought, oh, I may as well just do it as well.”

“But I just never thought someone like me could have a career in that area. So I was like, was that just a subconscious desire that just decided to come out when I was deathly ill? Or was it some kind of, I don't know, some higher power or something showing me that this was more my purpose? Because I remember a lot thinking that time, like, what is my purpose? Like, what am I supposed to be doing in the world? And I'd write in my little diary, you know, like again, I watched a lot of Oprah, so I was like, you know, What's my purpose? How can I give back to people?”

“I don't know. I think was that some subconscious desire that I was never brave enough to say to anybody because I was in the high school musicals and plays, you know, in the musical, I was like never cast as the lead or whatever. But I really enjoyed it. Like I really did enjoy it.”

“Five years until I really got you could make money from acting. But it was like the vision came to me and I watched a lot of Oprah and Oprah was like, well, the universe will tell you like first it'll come in little whispers and then it'll be like bricks falling on you. And I was like, but to see, I've had the vision. I have to do acting now.”

“But my little rap group with my sister didn't work out. And it was so vivid and real. Like I can still remember it. And then I came out of hospital. I was in hospital for two weeks. I came out and I was like, I think I've got to become an actress now. I had this vision. And people go, Akna, like the malaria has affected your brain. They're just like, they thought I was nuts. Like they thought I was crazy. And they go, no, I've seen it. And they're like, no, no, no. Like you've got into the best law school in Australia. Maybe go to law school and have a great career. And I like, nah, I've seen it. And I think I need to be an actress now. And then I left South Africa a month earlier. I was supposed to be there a full 12 months. I left earlier to audition for a drama school in Australia, which I got rejected because obviously I was terrible and nobody looked at me and go, actress, nobody. Yeah. And it still took, I think, from that vision.”

“Yeah, well, like I had a nasty strain of malaria and it was put in hospital. And, you know, malaria is so different. I don't know whether you remember because of how old you were, but it felt like... Felt like I was not in my body, and they'd take me into hospital and give me these drugs. And then I just started hallucinating. And I hallucinated as an actress, and I was so good that I win an Academy Award. And I'd seen the Oscars on TV. I'd obviously never been. And then I just walked down the aisle. And it was so real. I could see all the people with the dresses and I get up on stage and then I give an acceptance rap rather than an acceptance speech because I thought, oh yeah, that's hardcore. And at one point I had wanted to be a rapper because of their coolness and swagger. It didn't work out for me.”

“Go rock up to South Africa a few years post-apartheid And it was so different to Australia. Like Australia's very safe. Johanna's bigg had the highest rape and murder rate in the world at that time, and there were guns everywhere and barbed wire, fences and attack dogs. And it was like, it was so eye-opening, but then to also be constantly aware of the violence and like I had to carry a little wooden baton, like what you see, like an old policeman in a cartoon would carry because I literally, if somebody attacked me, I'd have to hit them on the head with it. And it was like, I was like, this is crazy. Like, there was so much going on that year. But that's how I got the malaria, which forced me to have this vision that I was to become an actress. And I think if I'd never, ever gone to Africa, I never would have had that life-changing vision. And I probably...”

“I know. It was like a so you know a lot of people do the gap here And I mean, it's random, but basically as a witness in a major crime squad investigation. And then through that, some people were very impressed with my ability to go and do that in a case. And so I was like, and they told me about this program that was, it's a rotary program and it was called Youth Ambassador program. And basically they wanted young people who were very good at public speaking. And by this point, I'd forced myself to do debating in public speaking and I'd to get over my shyness. And so I was quite a good speaker. And I got recommended into this program and got selected. And you don't get to choose what country you go to. They just select for you. And they sent one boy and one girl from our district over to different countries. And I got given South Africa. And I was like, because I thought it was going to be like the Lion King first, which was one of my favorite movies.”

“But she was doing it not because she wanted me to become an actor. We don't have any professional entertainers in the family. Like, you know, nobody I know was in the business or whatever. At that point, it was more to help my self-confidence and self-esteem through the creative arts. And weirdly, it really did because when you're shy like I was to play different characters, it's like an escape because it's not really me. It's a different character. And then you can perform as that person. And then eventually some of that confidence starts coming to you, the real you, from doing that. But obviously at the time, nobody thought I would become a professional actress or they would have laughed.”

“I think it started from just like a more normal thing about wanting to have friends. And wanting to be invited to some parties. And so it started from that. And then you wanted to be respected, but then to be respected, people first have to know who you are. And so sometimes you have to do that attention-seeking behavior to get that. How I got into acting was really, well, my mom dragged me into it because I mean, the studies on that creative arts can really help your self-esteem and self-confidence. It's like insane. Like it's really good for young people who are struggling. And my mum could see me like struggling and having no friends. And so mum takes me to these drama classes at this community center and literally has to drag me out of the car. I'm holding onto the car door with my fingernails like going. I don't want to go. It's so traumatic.”

“but one of which was to get attention which was to be essentially to be naughty, to get attention. It's kind of like that, you know, Eminem the rapper if he hadn't have put out all these songs that were like really controversial and had, you know, outrageous things in them, would he have been a successful rapper? Probably not. And so it was kind of like I then had to do some dodgy things at school to get known, to get like a reputation. Which was against my natural personality because I was such a good little girl, but I had to do things, outrageous things, to get attention. And then that led to popularity. And then once you have the popularity, you don't need to do that stuff. But yeah.”

“There were all sorts of things, but I remember from Friends and Influence people, there was something about talking to five new people every day. And so that was one of the first things I did. And like talking to girls on the bus or just, you know, walking up through the school gates and just talking to the person next to me and saying, hi, and what you realize is that there's other people as lonely and as isolated as what you are. that might have been the highlight of their day to speak to somebody new. And, you know, instead of just sitting in the library all day waiting for friends to find me, which they never would, why don't I actively go out and join like other sport teams or other clubs at the school and actively try to make friends? Like it's not just going to happen if you're just doing nothing. So these little tips and strategies.”

“And so I was like, oh, well, I better get a move on. And luckily I found those motivational tapes. And then they helped me because I thought I want to be somebody that expresses myself, like literally you'd look at me and I sometimes see it in my niece now. I think she has a similar thing. Like it's almost like you wouldn't be able to register anything that's going on. You wouldn't know if I'd had a good day or a bad day. It'd just be like no expression or anything. And then I was like, okay, I'm going to force myself to like come out of my little cocoon or my shell or whatever the metaphor is and just break out. And with the help of those tapes and like it having a strategy and how to do it”

“And people are kind of becoming themselves at that point. And then I read this article in the library that said that what your personality is at 15 will be your personality for life. Because I used to eat my lunches in the library just by myself, so I was reading stuff all the time. And then I read this and I went, like, I'm so close to 15. If I don't change, this is going to be me forever. And can I imagine my not expressing anything to anybody, just like being just shy and introverted and isolated? And I just knew I didn't want that, that that wouldn't have been the happy life for me. And not that there's anything wrong with being shy, like a shy sometimes can be like a superpower you observe people and you learn a lot by observing. But then I just was like, no, I want to have friends and I want to have fun and be.”

“And then some of it must have been from not feeling love, although obviously I know my parents love me very, very much. But because of, I came from a very conservative family, we didn't really talk about emotions and feelings. And so it wasn't expressed in the way that I probably needed it too. So I didn't feel good enough unless I was getting first in my grade in a subject or something. And then I was congratulated. And so then I felt good or winning a prize or a trophy”

“being born a girl in the area where I was from and boys were more praised, like even at the dog shows that when I did something called junior handling. And then if a boy ever entered, he'd normally win because it was like, oh, boy's doing it. Whereas girls just weren't seen as being as good. The boys school, I went to an all-girls high school, but the boys' school next door was seen as more prestigious and better. And they had the multi-million dollar theater at their school. And, you know, it was just, and so I think some of it is just as simple as like being born a girl in the area. And I was like, God, that's so dumb though. Why didn't I transcend that?”

And if I didn't, I'd feel bad about myself. And then, I don't know, just generally being successful in things gives me, makes me feel good about myself. But then I was thinking about one of the reasons why I had issues with food because I had low self-worth and then I felt like I was not good enough. I was like trash. And that's why I would trash my body. Because I just felt like, well, I don't deserve anything different. And then that's a really complicated question to work out, well, why don't I feel good enough? And I've thought about it a lot. And some things I know, but then some things I think I don't know why. Some things are as simple as like, for example,”

And then I was thinking about, I go, why aren't they as interesting or something? And they're great and they're talented, but they're just not as interesting. And then I normally, when I chat to them, you find out, oh, they have two loving parents and they had a great childhood. And so for me, I think why I have certain parts of my personality and like to do comedy and stuff is because I have this, I have a lightness which definitely comes from my mum and my mum's side of the family that are all like that. And then on my dad's side, it's just like dodginess everywhere. And like, I don't, you know, alcoholism and addictions and just also a mentality of just, I don't know how to.”

“I go no, I would like to be successful and go out into the world and make a name for myself. And a romantic relationship would only cause me pain, only drag me down, not allow me to be my true self. So I thought, yeah, I just thought I would never, I'd never wanted one until you get real lonely when you become successful. And then you're like, oh, maybe. Maybe things can change”

“Didn't want to be like my mother and have this awful thing happen that, you know, obviously now the story is great for my mum. She's now engaged to a great man who's awesome and so kind and loving. But my only representation, I guess, was their marriage and it was awful. Like it was just even when they separated, it took seven years to and basically left my mum with nothing because all the money went to the lawyers from the separation costs. And I was just like, oh, like, why would I want that?”

“For my whole life. Yeah, that's probably why I never dated anybody ever because I saw my parents My mom kind of became a shell of a woman and had to have every ounce of strength in order to get out of that relationship eventually when I was like 16, 17. And that left me thinking I will never get married. I don't want to be in a partnership with somebody. Like this is terrible because often when my dad would have his outburst or whatever, it was always at home. It was not in public. It was not around other people. It was like just when we were at home. And I went, who would want that? Like there was nothing loving about it. And I think even though I had one boyfriend when I was 16 and then he cheated on me with a friend. And then I was like, that's it. And then from there throughout the whole of my teenage and 20s, like did not date one person because I guess I...”

“Ye've more with my mamma was more emotional abuse like come home as our fat lazy cow, whatever you done all day, stuff like no one will ever love you, just like these comments that would just come constantly and also more financial abuse, like he'd take control of the finances but then go and gamble with the money and then we'd have no money and so more with that, but with the kids it was more the, you know, the physical hitting, which was not that uncommon in the area I grew up in. I mean, I know now, like, I could never think of hitting my child. Now, I just would never butt. But back then, it was quite common. And we did have family friends that their dad would hit them with a belt, which was kind of a bit even worse. So we kind of felt like we didn't know anything that different, it was quite common.”

“And my sister was sex liberty. And when I spoke to her about writing the book, and she was like, she doesn't totally remember that exact instance, but she remembers several others that are very similar. Of things, but that one I just remembered really clearly, and then I felt like a terrible person because I thought, oh, well, why did I wet the sheets and the mattress? And I was trying to cool down. But that was wrong and I should never have been naughty like that. And it just kind of, yeah, really stuck to me that particular time. But that was something that would happen, you know, quite a bit.”

“Yeah, we go back from a dog show and it was really hot sometimes in Australia we have like these really hot like 36 degree days and so we thought well we'll pour water all over the mattress to like wet it down so we kind of be lying in coolness And then my father came in and just he thought, I think we'd literally wet the bit, you know, like gone to the toileer on the bed, which we never would have done. We were like, Looking back, we were like the most well behaved children you could imagine. And he just, it was like a flick switch would flick, you know, and he just go really angry and would just start whacking us. And it was just... It was, I don't know, it just seemed to, just something would tick him off or something and he'd just lose it. And that was one of the incidents. But I was really young. I think I was about eight.”

“What were those ways? And I think with him it was being angry and he would just turn from all of a sudden talking normally to he would go really red in the face, like just like it was almost like a red balloon suddenly like his face would almost expand and he'd go really red and he'd just have these absolutely like angry outbursts where he'd do and say horrible things. And I think that was probably stemming from when he lost his father in an unfair way. And he just didn't know how to deal with it. So probably like, you know, if he is now and if, you know, I would be like, oh, you know, you should talk to someone, a professional and process your emotions properly. But then back then, I guess we didn't really know what to do or say that was just his personality.”

“And I think this was my father's way of trying to improve himself and trying to be better. And a lot of the tapes were about business, about selling and how to be better in business. And so I feel like even though we never openly discussed it, I feel like why would he have those kind of things? Because he wanted to better himself. I just don't think he had the ability to. And then his life just didn't go. in the way that he wanted to. And I think because of the death of his father, he just never seemed to be able to process emotions properly. That was the best way. Probably nowadays you would go to someone and get diagnosed with what kind of issues you had or seek therapy or something like that to get over the trauma. But I guess back in Australia in those days that wasn't a thing.”

“I think'cause he was so angry all the time and money was a source of fighting in the household. So And I just like, so for example, we'd go to the racetrack with the horses, and my dad sometimes would own at one tenth or one twentieth of a race horse in a syndicate. And he'd look at the other high flyers, rich people who'd had a lot of money and were successful and people knew their names and stuff. And I definitely saw that he wanted to be that, but he wasn't that. Nobody was coming up to him and shaking his hand or admiring him. And then in one of the chapters of the book, I write about, I found this gym bag in the back of his car, and it was full of all these cassettes. And I just took them. Nobody ever said anything, why they were there. And I noticed they were all motivational tapes. And the one that I clearly remember was one called How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

“So my mum was a school teacher in state schools, so had a lot of refugee students and students that came in not knowing English. And she mainly taught kindergarten. So like all these kids. So she's just like a light, you know, light of a woman, like just a brilliant teacher helped so many young people. And for some parts of my childhood, she was just a stay-at-home mum, which I shouldn't say just because now I'm realizing being a mum is like the hardest thing ever. And then my dad was someone who his father died suddenly when he was 18 in his final year of high school. I think that through his life, what was supposed to be his life, of course. And he kind of had emotional issues from losing his dad suddenly that young. And in a tragic...”
