I don't think I'm egotistical, and I know what my limits are: I'm a black guy who's probably losing his hair. But I'm happy to play roles that I'm given, and I'm happy to play roles that I write.
I am very happy that I am getting to play such layered and demanding characters. I feel blessed that directors are trusting me with such roles.
I like playing the contrasting roles. It what inspires me to act. If I look back on my career I am happy that I have gotten to play a wide variety of different roles, from Mike Dexter, to Van Ray in Fast Lane, to Dr. Cullen to Coop.
All of us play different roles in our chosen career. I play the role of an actor. But I realised I am also an actor apart from various roles I play in my personal life.

I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.
In Tamil and Telugu films, I am not called for stylish roles and often play rustic or unglamorous roles in them.
At times, I have had the opportunity to play character roles in movies like 'Kathavasheshan.' Still, I act in all the roles I am offered if it has something special.
Of course men play roles, but women play roles too, blanker ones. They have, in the play of life, fewer good lines.
I wanted to play roles which offered new ways of viewing black women and black people in general- and I have done that. And I have always, whether I needed to pay the rent or not, I've always turned down roles which I thought were stereotypical. And so when I look at my body of work in that respect, I am really happy. Because I feel my work does say something positive and that was what I always set out to do.
I am happy that I am getting a chance to play for Hampshire, because wherever I play, at the end of the day, I am recognized as a Pakistani, and if I do well, it is Pakistan cricket that gets a good name.
I would be happy to play any roles.
I am happy that I am getting roles to prove my acting calibre.
I am not hungry for roles on TV or in films. I am happy being a social media sensation.
I am happy with all the films I've done. I have not become the victim of an image. I have managed to do different roles, and I am proud of that.
As an actress, I am happy that people are offering me good roles and I am earning success critically and commercially.
