It\u2019s like your body starts to change and be disgusting in new ways.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you\u2019re 12 or 13, you\u2019re like, \u2018Why am I so oily?\u2019 And now you\u2019re like, \u2018Why am I so papery?\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tina has enjoyed huge success during her career, starring in TV shows like Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. And Tina admits that she&#8217;s keeping an open-minded, optimistic approach to her future.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I\u2019m hoping that things will just continue to present themselves. There definitely are other forms of writing that still interest me. I\u2019d love to write a play.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019d love to maybe write in prose in another form. But I also just like sitting still in a chair and drinking coffee outside.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nTina previously revealed that she&#8217;s keen to &#8220;help new voices get in the mix&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress admitted that she has mixed feelings about her long-term future in the film and TV business.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told The Hollywood Reporter in 2025: &#8220;The impulse to hide and retire is very strong because I do think it\u2019s time to help new voices get in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It\u2019s something I\u2019m already doing, but I want to do more. Even on the walk over here I was like, \u2018I am so tired of hearing from me. Surely everyone else is tired of hearing from the same people over and over again.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nTina also observed that she has &#8220;no sense for the business&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe TV star &#8211; who wrote Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a hit sitcom about a woman who escapes a bunker after 15 years in captivity &#8211; explained: &#8220;I\u2019ve never had the brain to be like, \u2018You know what the market\u2019s looking for these days? Twins!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don\u2019t know how to work backwards. The fact that I tried to follow 30 Rock with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt shows you I have no sense for the business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/mean-girls-star-tina-fey-ageing-like-reverse-puberty-1445498.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 June 2026 Tina Fey has likened ageing to &#8220;reverse puberty&#8221;.
