And actually over time, I've become very grateful because I think I'm kind of happier. It's more me to adopt a voice and a persona and kind of disappear in the role and it's no great loss.

It's both. It started out as pure mimicry with a deep love of what I was imitating. I was really raised by the television set. And so, in a way, it was a way to keep my best friends with me.
