Lots of comics try stuff out all year round, which is very sensible - I don't.

I love playing in America. I feel having been there a few times that I "get" America a lot more than I used to. It used to be so strange to me. It takes years to learn how to separate the actual, major, important differences from the superficial differences that aren't essential or crucial.

You learn very very quickly that it is mostly about swearing, actually. That's all you're doing, swearing, in a box with wheels.
