Carice van Houten Quotes

I don't use Twitter for bad.

I never, ever read the comments below an article on the Web. People are mean. I'm a human being.

2012 was the year I saw Twitter as a negative. More people need to realise that not everything they read is true and that Internet trolls are a real problem.

It's nice to be able to directly speak to fans and thank them for their support. The only time that it can get tricky is when they are unkind or say things that may not be so easy to say if they weren't behind a computer. Bullying is never ok.
