...probably didn't care for it very much - at that age, I was out playing in a vacant lot, mostly. It was a slow beginning, I had to learn how to get a sound out of a cold clarinet. After I crossed the first hurdle, it got a little bit easier, and there was no turning back...

This show is several years in the making. Can you talk a bit about its evolutionary process? [HBO] always seemed to be interested in hiring me at some point, but they never really had a spot. After I did a pilot for a late-night show a few years ago, we had a good talk, and they told me they'd call when a spot opened up.

The article raised his profile quite a bit, and probably assisted in him getting caught [a second time]. I do think it went to his head a little bit, but it was a choice he made to go back. I didn't feel responsible in any way for what he had done...

...right, the speech could have been much worse. Ever since U.S. President Barack Obama told the Israelis to freeze the settlements - and meant it, as opposed to previous U.S. Administrations that barked but never bit on that subject - the right has been worried that Netanyahu might cave. In fact, Netanyahu left himself familiar wiggle room on settlements too, saying the Israeli government would freeze settlements but allow room for natural growth (translation: ultra-religious families of eight should not feel the need to restrain their rate of reproduction...
