“I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.”

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.
If you start to disrespect the character you're playing, or play it too much for laughs, that can work for a sketch, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique. It's like watching a juggler - you can be impressed by it, but it's not going to touch you in any way.
If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.
