People come into public life for different reasons. None of us are ego-challenged, I think, or we probably wouldn't be doing what we're doing, so if anyone tells you that they don't like the sound of the applause and the ego gratification, I don't think they're being straight with you. ↗

And I tell my audience, you know, give the real stars a round of applause. Because without them I'm nobody. So I learned so much from people like that. ↗

But if applause throws off your timing, then you're not the kind of comedian I would like to see. All you have to do is stand there and take it. ↗

For 'Iron Man' I had to improv with Robert Downey Jr., which is like going up against LeBron in basketball. At one point he stopped and said, 'Can we give a round of applause to Olivia, because she's rocking it right now.' ↗
