That may be part of why he’s been so successful as a cast member and then head writer on— they’re just supposed to be honest.
But in general I should say, I don't often feel homesick. I kind of gave you a phony answer, maybe. I've never felt that homesick.I'm close with my parents. My parents still live in the house I grew up in, but one of the reasons I don’t feel particularly homesick for that is, my parents have an old English sheepdog and they have had different ones over the course of the entirety of my life, and I'mallergic to them. And I thought I was chronically ill all through high school.
