I never really felt like I had anywhere to call home because I didn't feel, even though I was born in England, I didn't think of London as home.
I don't know if I have really made it as an actor. I don't even look at it that way.
I feel a sense of responsibility to the Iraqi community and to the Arab world,
and is very close to him and loves him. But he's almost a mouthpiece for that kind of questioning What kind of God is that that would do these things?'
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.
I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I'm proud of, is that I am a good parent.
I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.
Lets just say I was really bad. Now I have grown into myself. I have changed.
The older I get, the more I'm prepared to do things for the money.
A slice of hot, buttered toast is the perfect meal. It's not too much and not too little, and it gives you just the right buzz.
I've always liked women who are older. They seem to know who they are, and they've lived. They've got soul, and that's very attractive.
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.
Only when I came to America did I think of myself as British.
It is not easy to get parts in mainstream films for most people of color. Hollywood and British writers are not writing parts for us, or the directors are not interested in casting us in parts that are color-blind.
