I guess my performance at school was doing school musicals, so I was a knight as well at the back of the stage in Camelot. It was all those kind of things. It wasn't the stuff that I wanted to do. The real funny character stuff came out when I was in control of it myself and writing it myself.

I get bored with the constant probing for the cliched tears of the clown, the dark side of the comic.

I like the boundaries, the kinds of conventions of a documentary and having to work within that.

When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I'd constantly be that guy who'd get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.

I would love to play a British character one day. My accent wavers between Scottish and Irish very easily, though.

I never like to think of any character as being over. I'm always thinking of different ways of bringing them back.

I really like Jeff Lewis and 'Flipping Out' and 'Interior Therapy.' I don't know why I'm obsessed with American real estate and renovation.
