Los Angeles: The Indian-Canadian comedian Lilly Singh opened up about criticism and her creative ingenuity. She says she knows that she’s a minority on screen and that she does know that she has a very specific point of view, voice and that she wants to make sure it gets through.
Singh revealed her thoughts during ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’. During the conversation in the talk show, host Barrymore remarked that the comedian creates a tone, does the writing and the production and also has a part in directing.
‘You play all these different characters. You are really at the helm of your own destiny. How do you work with other people when you get notes and criticism and find out what works and what doesn’t? What’s your process because I’m in the same boat? ‘Ask Barrymore.
The comedian replied: ‘It is important for me to take the reins of my creative, because I know that I am a minority on screen and know that I have a very specific point of view and a specific voice, and I want to make sure it gets through. ”
Singh, who is also a late presenter of the evening, added that she should balance her work profile with openness to feedback and criticism.
‘I talk too fast, so when NBC comes to me and says to slow down a bit, I should not be a sensitive artist and say no. It’s about finding the balance between voice and being open to cooperation, ”the comedian said in the program that is broadcast in India on Zee Cafe.
