He further said, “That is why you are saying this. And it’s like, can’t it be both? I want my career back and am horrified by the way I acted. ‘We must have the ability to change, learn and grow. And so I’m not afraid of it (getting canceled) because I think it’s stupid. And if this happens to me, I can’t do anything about it.”
“And I can’t worry about something that could happen at any moment,” the host of the 82nd Golden Globes said. And if that happens I’ll deal with it, but I really don’t want to get cancelled. “It sounds like something terrible happened to you.”
