"I don’t want to bulls**t my fans or bulls**t people who watch the show, and say, ‘Oh, it was an amicable decision to leave — I’ve got lots of things on
next year, I can’t do it any more’."
"No. Genuinely, I accept their decision, and they’ll find someone great, I’m sure. But am I going to miss it? Yeah."
