You don't read many positive things about Iran in the press, which is depressing, but when I go back to my grandparents' house in the hills, and I'm sitting by the pool, sipping a bootleg Turkish beer, watching a pirate DVD, eating my grandma's cooking... you realise there is a real bridge between politics and country and people.

I think a lot of comedians are desperate to show their serious side, but I got that off my chest early on in my career.

My pranks have never been about getting a negative reaction. They've always been a tolerance test for the person I'm engaging with.

When a son tells a dad to trust him, it goes against every instinct in his body to do so.

I met the Gallagher brothers, and Noel was quoting my 'Fonejacker' catchphrases. Hearing your heroes quote you is incredible.

I would very much like to direct, star, perform, and just be a general auteur.

The second series of 'Fonejacker' almost killed me. It was incredibly intense.

I'm quite lucky, really: I don't get recognised too much.

My dad was quite political in the Seventies. He has a definite opinion about politics and things going on in the world.

I had a niche. And my niche was that I was brown. So it's like, 'Great, I get to go up for all these 'brown parts.'' I call them 'brown parts' because that's what they are. That's not to be resentful, because I loved playing those parts - I got to meet so many cool actors.
