I chose the Egyptian dream: the dream to make a TV show, and then be called an infidel by the end.
Theocratic and military authorities share one thing: they have no sense of humour.
We have dealt with the Arab/Muslim problem in the American media in every single way but through comedy. Hollywood has always been laggaing behind comedy... We can make fun of ourselves, too, and I'm inviting us to laugh with us - and all the misconceptions.
I do think that this planet is a totally unjust planet. I mean throughout history - history paints a beautiful picture when it's written by the victorious, but it's a planet that belongs to the strong and the more able, and usually they are tyrants. So basically, I don't see justice happening to the crushed and the weak.
I get very confused about being called a comedian, because when you say 'I'm a comedian,' people expect you to crack a joke. Maybe I use laughter and humour to make people think. I don't know what you call that - a humourist? A satirist? A pessimistic comedian? I don't know. Satirists can be very dark.
The Dark Satirist, like the Dark Knight - that could be a good name for a superhero.
