It is hard that people don't just let you do your job for them and entertain, and then carry on your own life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's easy for people to say, 'Because you do this, you must be this kind of person, vain or uptight or mean to people.' People have a sense of who you may be because of the job you do. That's unfair judgment.
If you have an opportunity to reach people on a broad scale, it's not enough to just entertain people. You have to take responsibility. You has to do something substantial. Otherwise you're squandering what you have.
There's no sense in doing something, especially if it's a hard job, if you can't have a little fun.
When you walk away from a really wonderful job like that, you start messing with everyone's priorities. It's like you're dissing them.
I knew early on that I wanted to entertain in some form. And I knew I would work as hard as anyone to do it.
There's people that are just in awe of what you do, and then there are people who just think it's garbage. And I think there are people who are just uncomfortable seeing someone have fun with their job.
People don't know how hard it is to have your own business.
Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself.
If a job's worth doing, it's too hard.
I think that's what keeps you grounded - having your own life that's not directed by your job.
