Kumail Nanjiani

But the balance has been how do you have that be the fuel to my success while not being too hard on myself, you know?

But like, for instance, today, I didn't realize I had this mess up on my end.

I woke up this morning and I had my morning.

I had up until 1130.

My first thing was 1130.

And I was like, oh, I'm going to watch cricket this morning.

And that's all I'll do.

And even giving myself permission to do that is so much progress.

Just to spend like three hours this morning watching something.

And I've been like really...

doing stuff, I've been like very busy these days, you know?

And even that, giving myself permission to do that was like an internal conversation.

Yeah, but even that's hard.

It's hard to give myself those rewards because it feels like I should be doing something.

It's really a problem.

Do you have that?

I mean, truly, I love my work.

So if I'm learning lines for a movie, there is a part of it that is work.

But if I'm not enjoying the actual doing of it, I'm taking pride in the fact that I'm getting it done.

It's all positive feelings.
