Amy Schumer thinks it's 'cool' her idols know who she is

-

The 'Snatched' actress isn't comfortabl­e with being famous, but admits it "feels good" to be able to hang out and have the possibilit­y of working with people she's admired for a long time. Asked if there's anything she likes about fame, she said: "The things about it that are cool are the people that I respect and am a fan of some of them will know who I am. "And that feels really good, it's cool that I get to hang out with these people or work with them." The 35year-old comic admits she would rather stay at home than go out to glamorous Hollywood events and won't attend awards ceremonies if she doesn't have a good reason to be there. She told Glamour magazine: "I've been asked to host a bunch of awards shows, but I will only go to events that I have to. "I would always rather not go, because I like to feel physically comfortabl­e and be with people that I feel comfortabl­e with. "It's not my element. I don't think it's anyone's element. I would almost rather just watch them at home. "But at the same time, it's really nice to be acknowledg­ed. When I do get included in awards things, I feel proud and good about that. "But I don't want to go if I'm not. You'll never see me on a red carpet unless I'm very involved." And although Amy - who is dating furniture designer Ben Hanisch - is feeling "good" about her life, she thinks everyone pretends to be happier than they really are. She said: "I do feel like everyone is an imposter, we're all hanging on by a thread. "We all put videos and pictures up like, 'Look, I'm OK', and really we're not all OK. "I feel good right now and I feel happy in my life but, you know, that's not constant, it's p and down."
