Los Angeles, April 18 (IANS) Actress and comedian Tina Fey says her "impulse to hide and retire" is "strong" so that new faces in comedy can step to the forefront.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: “The impulse to hide and retire is very strong because I do think it’s time to help new voices get in the mix.

“It’s something I’m already doing, but I want to do more. Even on the walk over here I was like, ‘I am so tired of hearing from me. Surely everyone else is tired of hearing from the same people over and over again.’ “

However, the 54-year-old star, who has daughters Alice and Penelope with producer husband Jeff Richmond, said that she was grateful for her upcoming Netflix series 'The Four Seasons' because it "saved" her while juggling a lot in her personal life, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She said: “This sandwich generation stuff, having your kids and an aging parent in the same house, it’s wonderful … but it also really takes a lot out of you.”

“My mom passed away in the summer, my older daughter went to college in August and my husband and I went to work on 'The Four Seasons' in the fall. That kept me in the world. It saved me from just shrinking up like a little granny apple head.”

Fey and her friend Amy Poehler previously hosted the Golden Globe Awards four times and presented the Oscars once but she's got no interest in helming another awards show.

She said: "Nikki Glaser killed it at the Globes, and she should keep that job forever. Me? No. I shouldn’t say never, but it’s such a high risk for such low reward.”

While Lorne Michaels previously said Fey "could easily" take the reins if he ever steps down as 'SNL' showrunner, she insisted he is "irreplaceable".

Talking about his remarks, Fey said: “It was nice of him to say that, and I love him very much.
