I know stepping really outside of it would be for me doing live TV again.

I don't feel like I'm anywhere near wanting to do that.

But what is that?

What's the precipice where we go, oh, no, and that's too far.

And how do we know?

That's such a big one.

I think it's such a big one for everybody to, you know, all of us have got flaws and issues and a backstory and have made mistakes.

All of us.

We don't believe that about other people, I guess, a lot of the time.

We think, oh, they're nailing it.

They're just doing so well.

Or even if it's in a sort of competitive sense with work, they're doing better than me or whatever.

Everybody is lugging around some shit.

And I think, you know, I certainly tried to tackle that in my book, Likeable, assuming that if I were perfect, not only expressing perfection to other people, but if I somehow felt like and I've done everything I can to be perfect, then people will like me.

And obviously there's no such thing for a star.

It's exhausting.

And actually the best way of tackling it is to become comfortable with the things that, you know,

That's a weakness of mine.

That's, you know, not my strength or something that is, you know, a particularly shiny part of my existence.

And also these are the places and the times where I've really messed up and it's all right, but it's quite hard to get there.
