Just the life of doing what I do, being in the public eye, it's a stressful environment... You feel strange, self-aware, very foolish.

The weekend after 'Kimmy' started streaming on Netflix, I did notice a definite difference in people on the street recognizing you. I think that's such a strange thing to happen.
