Lily Allen talked about what she perceives as the difference in British and American culture in the first episode of her new podcast “Miss Me”.

The English pop star and actress hosts the show twice a week with her friend Mikita Oliver and they discuss topics such as their careers, family and social issues.

Allen, who rose to fame with the songs ‘Smile’ and ‘LDN’ appeared to agree with Oliver’s position that the Americans put on better awards ceremonies than the Brits.

“They find it easier to be, what’s the right word, diffuse?” said Oliver. “I think we’re a little too self-aware to thank God and thank our families and cry and be overwhelmed. I feel like everyone is a bit too fancy here…”.

“Also, the SAG Awards ceremony was very tasteful. There was just something a little elegant about the whole thing. Something I didn’t feel when I saw the British Music Awards …” completed.

Citing the Baftas as an example of an “aristocratic” British awards ceremony, Allen said she thinks it’s a cultural thing that Americans are more likely to get excited about an artist’s creative achievements.

“I think one of the reasons I moved here to America is because I feel like it’s a much more nurturing environment for my kids to succeed in.” commented.

“An example is when I decided to act in the play (2:22 A Ghost Story) even though I had never done it before and certainly had no theater experience. When I told the Americans, they were like, “Oh my God, this is so exciting! You’re going to learn so much!” and when I told the English about it, they said, ‘A play? Have you done this before? Aren’t you afraid?'” pointed out the singer.
