“I find it incredibly difficult.
I find it personally more, just in being myself, far more than my comedy.
It’s so ugly, and it’s so not at all my life.
It has nothing to do with me.
So it just makes you shy away from wanting to put yourself out there.”
“I stay away from [the internet],” she continued.
“I don’t really want to participate in that game because it’s not my reality.
And it’s like that saying of ‘What you think of me is not my business.’
It’s great, and it’s really hard to remind yourself of, but it’s true.
I don’t think I would be creating the things I created onSaturday Night Liveif I worked there today.
It’s scrutiny.”
You would watch in its entirety."
“Sometimes things tank,” she explained.
It’s absolutely brutal."
Rudolph prefers to opt for an over-the-top approach to her comedy, particularly when do sketch comedy.
