It's weird, It's really weird to be called a breakout star. And some people are referring to my show as the new 'Friends', which I can't really even wrap my head around.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
And I always tried to be not a star. To be someone who people like to talk to.
The way 'star' used to be reserved for a small number of people, and when the star category became so vast, they came up with 'superstar,' and then they came up with 'megastar.'
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
I don't maybe follow the normal star profile, and it's not something that I particularly want to embrace in terms of the publicity thing and wanting to be famous and known.
I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.
It's hard to be a breakout show and stay on top. We're like the flagship show over here.
'Friends' was a true ensemble. There really was no star of the show.
