A friend of mine that I was in a band with started me on Kafka, which in turn led to Camus and Sartre.
Also, from a technical point of view, as you're standing in front of a microphone all day, it's quite a good idea that I should play a laid back sort of character because if he was too frenetic, I'd be exhausted by lunch!
By definition, I believe I am unapologetically optimistic and I am unapologetically earnest.
