On TV people look at your hair and then they look at your skin, and then they look at your clothes, and by the time they're listening to what you're saying, you're off the screen.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You start noticing that people are noticing how you look, and it is a profoundly alienating experience when it first happens, where you go on TV and you say something about some topic of the day, and on the Internet people are like, 'What was up with that shirt?' 'What was up with your hair?' And you think, 'Oh, that's kind of a bummer.'
Television is a thing that people get very familiar with. They want to hear your voice in their head.
I know it sounds hokey but I think, ultimately, on television you can't hide who you are.
Literally every time I'm on camera, as well as there being commentary on what I've said, there'll be commentary on what my hair looked like, what I wear. Often it's written in the most hideous and quite cruel way.
Sometimes people think they know you and they go, 'Hey!' and then they realize that they've just seen you on the television. That's kind of funny sometimes.
When I watch TV, I'm embarrassed by some of what's on.
I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing.
Usually, if I'm yelling at the TV, I'm in a bar. If I'm by myself, and it's not a game, I often find myself scolding reality stars that can't hear me through the television set.
I don't watch TV. When people at my house try to talk about TV, I'm like, 'Ah, I have no idea what I'm talking about.'
People tend to think they know you when you come into their televisions every week. They think you are different than who you are. Don't believe everything you hear.
