HW: When you do the spoof, do you watch the original?
CE: Yes, I definitely watch the original just to get the idea of what it looks like. Obviously, they do all of that work. That's more of them and being a spoof, you can kind of get away with not being too true to one certain thing. But I did watch the movie 300 and thought it was funny that Queen Margot, in our version, wears stripper heels. I thought that was really fun.
HW: It's also coming out on Blu Ray. Are you ready to see yourself in high definition?
CE: I don't know. I'm probably the most critical over myself so seeing yourself in high definition, you can probably see everything. But yeah, I guess I have to get ready for it.
HW: People look so much more real in HD.
CE: I prefer a little bit less real I think. I mean, so much has been in HD but I kind of really don't like to watch myself. Usually I do if I have to approve something, but I just don't like to obsess too much. When you're looking at yourself, you start picking out the things that you don't like or your flaws. I just really try not to focus on that stuff. I don't want to become obsessed with picking on myself all the time.
