It is very depressing to see that in the 21st century people are still using the same 1950s and '60s style of propaganda.

The worst thing ever that you have to explain your joke because I was very disappointed trying to explain why the joke is funny for the interrogator.

What I saw day-to-day is like people who are actually asking for freedom, calling for freedom - protesting, singing, chanting, calling for the removal of the regime - plain and simple. And of course there were clashes there because people, they tried to remove those protesters from Tahrir. And I was, like, doing my job as a doctor treating them.

There are people who believe in Egypt that I - I'm actually - I'm getting paid by external powers and external intelligence entities in order to use satire to bring down the government.

It is very difficult to imagine that you can actually get rid of a dictatorship that has been there for 60 years only in 18 days.

I always tell people that a revolution is not an event, it's a process. It is a struggle. And it doesn't usually go smoothly.

Everybody grows up with comedy. I mean, Egyptian comedy has a very, very old tradition. Our theater and our movies are just, like, amazing.
