I suppose comedy is my first love, in a way.

At the end of the day, all you really have is your own sense of your artistic ability and I've always stuck with that my whole life. I guess there is always a bit of relief that I have and real joy of being able to engage other people who are talented, equally or better than you, and you can work with them.

You're special, if you have some power in the world. People are looking at you and they think you're special.

Different people call me different things. In America, people really struggle with my name, so I don't have a nickname as such. I've had Sharlito, Sheldon, Charldo, really interesting variations on the name.

The acting world is a humbling experience, I find.

I grew up being fascinated by accents and dialects. One of the things that interested me were actors that were doing different characters, or sort of more caricatures.

I've always felt very comfortable with accents. Once I get an accent, I can do it, and that's just something I've been able to do my whole life.
