“At school, when I invited my parents to see a monologue I recited. They had no idea that there was this part of me that could stand on stage. At one point I met a gaze of my father, and at the same time there embarrassment and full of satisfaction. And I felt something I had never heard before, a transcendental moment of pride, of omnipotence and connection with myself. After we never talked about that moment again. I was embarrassed, it was as if they had seen me naked in front of everyone.”  - Rami Malek for Vanity Fair Italia, 2016.
