There are so many amazing things that are real; I don't need to spend any time on a made-up story" a little later: "I just wind down by reading or watching TV. I relate to Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I also watch House, M.D" I find that a little weird. I personally think reading fiction is an indication that you have an imagination.

I think this just proves it's hard to stereotype or generalize anybody - even the creative ones.

I think it's even hard to generalize about yourself. 5 or 10 years from now Jason may have given up on TV, and be cultivating a love of fiction.
