And that kind of outsidership… My parents were also really progressive, so they didn’t believe in television. I didn’t have a TV, so I wasn’t able to talk with kids about what was happening on the television, because I was this voracious, crazed reader. I used to bring my flashlight under the covers. Other kids would stay up to play games, I would read. [Panicked voice.] “What’s gonna happen to Frodo next?” So I was just, in every way socially, a pariah. And those were the formative years.

Jon Benjamin shat all over his pants in a rental car (yup), she’s an amazing interviewer… recommended.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly1zrwX5if1r2igm4o1_500.jpg)
