Paul Feig has an incredible style that represents who he is. He wears a suit to work every day.

For me, being with Obama or having dinner with Bill Clinton... it's crazy. It's mind-blowing, because where I come from is just another world. We were just ignored by politicians - by America in general.

So I sat down with him and portrayed more the side of the character he needed to see. Which is what I do when I go in for an interview for a part I like. As much as you think you're dealing with creative people, they see you for what your image is out there.

I think you can't be really posh and be an interesting actor. I'm a bit of a posh rough.

I worry I look posh and fat. I can't do anything about posh - I'm accentless - but I've spent 20 years battling my weight.

There was a massive poster of me down my road, right outside the chip shop. I was about to go in, but then I saw it and changed my mind. Me coming out with a bag of chips, while I'm up there doing crunches on the poster... well, it would not look good.

Shoes define how you walk in the world and how you stand: like, what is your posture in life?

I've experienced colorism in that way: where if you're lighter, then you'll potentially be accepted into society better than if you were darker-skinned.

The conventional wisdom is that if you are gay, you cannot play the romantic straight lead in a movie.

At the end of the day, even if you are cooler than Obama, the media will never let you be cooler.

This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else.

I think you can tell a lot by someone's footwear - cowboy boots would put me off, as would a man in Ugg boots or Crocs.
