I have to draw a line in the sand.\u2019 But people love it, and if you look on the internet, which can be so snarky, including about me, but under\u00a0<em>Billy on the Street<\/em>\u00a0videos, that\u2019s like a different thing,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people who get it, it\u2019s like their favorite thing. And they\u2019re always: \u2018Please do more. Please bring the show back. The world is so awful. Please do this.\u2019 And I am very touched by that, and I want to honor that. That\u2019s a very rare thing. It does not give me, as an actor, the creative satisfaction anymore because I\u2019ve been doing it for so long. And it\u2019s not aligned with who I really wanted to be as an artist because it\u2019s not acting in the traditional sense,\u201d <strong>Billy<\/strong> added, noting he was \u201cproud\u201d of the show. <\/p>\n<p>The actor and comedian, who recently released his audio-only memoir, \u201cBilly on Billy,\u201d also shared how he\u2019s been figuring out how to have a varied career and the popular street interviews, and how <em>Billy on the Street<\/em> could look in the future.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I want to have a more eclectic career. But what I\u2019m always trying to sort of figure out is, \u2018Oh, OK, I can do both.\u2019 My therapist would want me to say that. She was like: \u2018You can do everything!\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m never going to do half-hour episodes of\u00a0<em>Billy on the Street<\/em>\u00a0again, but we\u2019re always kind of talking about what it could look like.
