During the chat, Jane quizzed Brian over his businessman character Logan Roy.
The journalist asked: “Logan Roy, is he the closest character to you in terms of personality?”
Brian responded: “I wouldn’t say that. I have an empathy for Logan Roy. I think he’s a little misunderstood. He’s a self-made man.

“He probably started off on one side of the political spectrum and ended up on the other side of it through experience and disappointment.
“The one thing we share in common is a disappointment with the human experiment. We do believe that. Look at the current crisis we’re living in.”
He added: “I can’t believe we’re still in the same, excuse me, s*** that we’ve been in time and time again. We’re repeating.”
