I try to get away. It's very unusual for me to be in one spot for so many months, which is one of the things I've had to get used to for a television show. I enjoy going on adventures and seeing the planet.

I was named for my grandmother. It's an evil-eye name, to protect you from bad things.

When I was 16, I was in Boston and some friends said, 'You want to go to New York?,' I went with my roommate... These guys said, 'We're going to this club. Just don't go in the washroom.' It was CBGB. I had no idea what it was or the history of all the music. All I knew was this was my first 21-and-over club and I managed to get in!

It's not that I don't like TV. It's alien to me. I haven't watched a television show in decades.

I realised that a television show on political lampoon was one genre that was missing.

Every television show you go on is a choice.
