I'm a vocabulary nerd.

Yeah, I spent my teen years in West Virginia, and when I was a kid, in Louisiana. I definitely have that exposure to two different sorts of rural: the South and Appalachia.

Peter Dinklage is one of my oldest friends from New York!

When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating.

I was good at math, math was my thing - but I was not nearly good enough to be an astrophysicist. I was way outta my league. I realized this very quickly.

I'll watch CNN in the mornings to catch up on what's going on. On the weekends, I get the Sunday edition of 'The New York Times.'
