I never felt at home in London, because people were constantly telling me I didn't belong here, so after a while, you tend to believe that.

Just because I never went to university doesn't mean you can't read, although I do feel a bit uneducated from time to time.

I couldn't bloody believe a prime-time TV show would have an Iraqi ex-Republican Guard torturer as a main character.

Los Angeles is the only place that I can honestly say I have ever called home.

If you don't believe you don't belong.

I was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship with my parents, who were very traditional. Doing plays at school was a joyous release.
