Here in America, people come out to see what they've known you to do. In England, it's like everyone comes out to tell you exactly how well they think you're doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a certain lack of gimmickry to what I do that makes people in England go: 'Where's the thing?'
If you're famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don't.
In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging.
I live in a country where I'd say nine out of ten people know me when I walk through the streets. There's people taking pictures, there's tabloids trying to make up stories. I'm used to that. The same thing when I'm in Australia or the U.K.: I get stopped.
It's nice because working in England I'm know for working in television and theater when you get a chance to come out, it is quite fun to be out from behind the mask. You need to let people know who you are.
To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say.
The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.
To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.
Once I know people know who I am, it gives me a lot of licence and freedom to behave in ways I wouldn't normally.
When I come to London now it's like being in L.A., because they know me like I'm at home.
