How did you get into doing this? Was this something from childhood where you were like, depending how I end up phallically, I'm going to be Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson? Or what was your original goal?

Well...

Okay, before we start, full disclosure, I may occasionally jump into the first person because I do this so often, but that will be by accident as opposed to talking about Ben in the third person.

It's just, I'm not schizophrenic.

It's just that I speak all week, every week in the first person, so I might accidentally do that during this interview.

It started out in second grade.

Yeah, I... read a book, a children's book called Ben and Me.

How did you decide to go beyond Ben and start portraying other characters?
