My characters are much more famous than I am, so I don't crave attention; I just crave working and doing good work. Having a feeling of self-worth.
There's a really geeky YouTube channel which I love. It's a guy called Oliver Harper. He makes documentaries about films. He's a real movie buff - there's loads of trivia and detail.
People say they don't want to call a call-centre in India. Why not? They're doing the same job - you just don't like Indians.
When I do an impression of someone or when I am pretending to be someone else, something freaky happens: I feel the person I am mimicking behind my eyeballs. Their head is sitting perfectly inside mine, helping me project a false self out on to the world. And it's not always a choice.
I can't really walk down the street as Brian Badonde without someone going, 'Bwark.'
I'm the guy that can play all the different races and get away with it.
Paul Verhoeven is one of my favourite directors. I love his ability to mash extreme violence with humour and satire.
I just want to keep doing my comedy work because that's what I do. I made a name for myself playing other characters.
Why did Barry Humphries play Dame Edna for so many years? Why is Steve Coogan still doing Alan Partridge? Because there are just one or two characters they love doing. I'm lucky enough to have six that I'm crazy about.
Years ago, I was watching a debate on Fox News, when I thought, 'These guys are basically like pranksters, they bring the people in and wind them up.' I was like, 'That's what I do!'
I had to fool the world into accepting me. I didn't seem to fit the mould of my idols.
'Cuban Fury' was a big production for a first time director to handle: I think it is very easy to become very stressful and for it to get the better of you.
I would very much like to direct, star, perform, and just be a general auteur.
I've got to follow in the footsteps of Sacha Baron Cohen and do a prank show, or a film with real elements to it.
I was born in London! I'm as Western as you get.
Zayn is a cool name.
I want to be James Bond! I don't want to be Doctor Who.
'MasterChef' is pretty good.
Getting expelled from secondary school and going to a more arty-farty college gave me the incentive to perform and opened some doors.
What I would say about the Trump travel ban is there goes my Hollywood career!
