“My English side really loves the royal family, and my Iranian side hat...” — Omid Djalili Quote

My English side really loves the royal family, and my Iranian side hates me for this.

To have a comedian stand up and use the shield of irony and the sword of truth, you're there to point out ridiculous things in society. Who better than a comedian to do that?

I think for any comedian to come and get big laughs from a really tough, discerning, comedy-literate audience, it is the biggest stamp of approval.

I've always wanted to make serious films. Comedy's important, it's very good to laugh. But when I look back at all my favourite films, they're all drama.

The prospect of living in a world where there is no God terrifies me. Even if the atheists are right, it doesn't uplift me to hear them.

My dad hates doing PR, so I volunteered to do this for him.

Nature hates calculators.

As young as I look, I think it will still be funny if I played a person who's kind of tortured and hates his life. Kind of like a Larry David-type thing.

I have lived my life in a culture that hates fat people.

Everybody hates you when you're the best, and everybody hates you when you're the worst.
