I actually get invited on TV a lot nowadays, and I don't do as much of it as I used to. And part of the reason is that once you've got the heroin of a long term conversation, why would you drop down to methadone? This is so much more fulfilling and satisfying. We're sitting here for a good chunk of time, you're giving me the space to speak, you're not talking over me, you're not trying to make me look bad, and [in corporate media] you get three minutes to make one point. And look, there's a market out there for that [but] I enjoy this. I enjoy having a conversation and connecting with somebody, getting to know how they think and them getting to know how I think, disagreeing where there's disagreement but doing it in a constructive way as opposed to going for the click bait and all of that.

And I don't think that if i was hosting something on TV [that] I'd get a chance to do that. — Konstantin Kisin
