Jennifer Coolidge is beloved for her comedy prowess but sadly she doesnt seem to love herself as much as her fans do.

The White Lotus star, who recently won a Critics Choice Award, a Golden Globe and an Emmy for her performance as Tanya McQuoid in the hit series, said that she doesnt feel at home in Hollywood despite her lengthy acting career.

Ive been around forever, since I was 30 thats a long time, she told Page Six last week . But when I go to a party with my other actor friends, I dont know any of the people. I live a secluded life in New Orleans and I only know the people I meet on the job and my friends from The Groundlings.

Asked why she doesnt hold herself in as high regard as her fans hold her, Coolidge cited her dating life.

Oh, I dont know. I mean, my dating life, Ive never found anyone quite right for myself, she said. I havent found the love of my life.

I think I made some bad decisions. It makes you insecure and you dont think youre great, she continued, adding that, though people in Hollywood sometimes told her they liked her work, the only way you know they mean it is if [they] give you a job.

The actor, who is experiencing what some fans are calling her career Jenaissance amid an award season sweep, was equally self-deprecating during recent headline-making acceptance speeches. At the Globes , she spoke about having big dreams that fizzled with age and thanked White Lotus creator Mike White for giving her a new beginning. At the Critics Choice Awards, she sent a message to people whod given up hope: Its not over til its over. Its not over til your dead.
