I enjoyed being anonymous.

Dictators are ludicrous characters, and, you know, in my career and in my life, I've always enjoyed sort of inhabiting these ludicrous, larger-than-life characters that somehow exist in the real world.

I think pulling off, pulling off a kind of fake documentary of me being a, you know, actual dictator would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible.

I've never really done any interviews as myself.

For a number of years in England nobody had any idea what I looked like.

I don't know if I'm brave.
