I'm really obsessed with the past.
Actually, I had a, I had a pet tortoise.
I'm not even fifty yet, but I still feel like Instagram and Spotify - I'm trying to stay with it! It's not easy. The world is going so fast.
Technology changing the world so quickly. I think it's even more difficult for older people to keep up in the world. And that's a challenge.
I think connection makes me vulnerable. Commitment makes me vulnerable, really.
No, but I'm really lucky, because I'm not the superhero.
I think love means a warm feeling about a human or a condition, where you feel emotional, and you feel like you want to be around them or it. You want to take care of it or them, the person, and be with them.
But basically what I like are the possibilities, and the fantasy element of the show. Not science fantasy so much, but fantasy, the humanistic elements and how people relate when they’re in a dire situation or comedic situation.
I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.
I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night.
I love to travel, which is sort of why I do documentaries and why I'm in this whole world of movies - you get to meet amazing people and see how other people live. It opens your eyes. That's what I love.
But I like being nasty. I like being cranky. Especially if it's a cold day in Chicago, it's nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he's so easy to scream at, you know?
I like people and get along, and I'm afraid to express my anger and my rage.
But I used to have a bit of a gambling problem. And that would have been the answer to my prayers. It got worse when I started playing this character, too.
