After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me, I've got to get out.
I hate bad reviews, so yeah, every now and then I think, 'Boy I hope everybody really likes this and thinks this theme is good.' You can't help but do that. I think we all are, or at least I am, reduced to a schoolboy seeking approval.
We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.
I'm too insecure to have people hate me.
It's difficult to talk to people... I walk into a room and I'm Danielle Steel, and whatever I say is going to be taken apart.
You don't have to be scared of what other people are thinking. You don't need to feel judged by other people.
I've always wanted to be the first one to laugh at me. I didn't want to get up on stage and start doing something and have someone say, 'Are you serious? Do you think that's good?'
I had this notion that everyone was staring at me and judging everything about me, from my appearance to the way I talk and everything.
