In the beginning of the play, in Act 1, Scene 1.. you can find this quote. It is near the beginning (I can't really give you a line number since all the editions are different).

Iago says this line to Roderigo in a long paragraph starting with "O, sir, content you"... then by the end of the paragraph, he states :

"The native act and figure of my heart

In compliment extern, 'tis not long after

But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For daws to peck at: I am not what I am" (I.i, Othello).

Good luck! This is such a great and important line in characterizing Iago and the tragic villain!
