I was extremely shy and had a terrible fear of public speaking. But I had fallen in love with stand-up.

On stage I just have to be myself. In acting you have to be so many other people.

I am a very nerdy guy. I understand that it's easier to cast me as a nerdy guy than an action star - although I would love to be an action star!

I approximated the Black Friday experience at home by hurling myself into a wall a number of times and then ordering online.

I never really got into game shows. The easiest one is Wheel Of Fortune because you just have to know words, and for the most part everyone knows words.

Living in Pakistan, you didn't have a sense of how huge and varied America was, geographically.

I would say I try to make my comedy really personal. I try to tell stories that happened to me, experiences from my life.
