Last year, writer/actor/comedianKumail Nanjianispoke with狗万官方magazine as the fourth season ofSilicon Valleywas about to premiere andThe Big Sick,the film he co-wrote with his wife, Emily V. Gordon, was starting to get major buzz at the Sundance Film Festival.

Since then, as you may know, Kumail and Emily's film went huge. Among other things, it won Best Comedy at the Critic Choice Awards, best first screenplay at the Film Independent Spirit Awards and was nominated for best original screenplay at the 2018 Academy Awards. Not too shabby!

As the fifth hilarious season ofSilicon Valleycontinues on HBO, we thought it'd be fun to revisit that interview. So much of the conversation wound up on the cutting room floor for the print version, and we figured you'd enjoy hearing Kumail's extended thoughts onproductivity, his working process with his wife Emily, the tolerance forrisk takinghe says all performers and entrepreneurs need to have, and of course, He-man. (Note: This wasn't recorded with the intention of being a podcast, so please forgive me laughing over everything he says.)
