Don't try to win over the haters; you are not a jackass whisperer.
People always talk. People say rude stuff. It bothers you but I'm not losing sleep on it. I don't care.
I was told that someone on Facebook said something 'horrible' about me. Who cares? At least they're watching the show.
Haters will be haters, you have got to acknowledge them and move on as the ratio of love to hate is too high.
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
I don't focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, then I don't worry about it.
My entire life, people have told me that I couldn't do certain things. They told me I couldn't go to college. They told me I couldn't go to Yale, Georgetown, couldn't end up doing much on Capitol Hill. Couldn't be party chair. And my response has always been, 'Watch me.'
I think in the world of Internet trolls, people can shake your confidence really easily, with just one comment. As long as you can stand behind your work, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks!
I was being hated for about 40 or 50 years by the whole world, but it did not destroy me, and it did not ruin my health. And the reason is because I just did not answer them. I had my own life.
Something that I've told all of my young artists is, there are going to be haters. You're going to read things that are going to hurt you. It's not going to make any sense. Just know that it's out there and that it's really easy to just press 'delete.'
Haters can't see me, but them b-tches still looking for me.
I remember when I was in college, people told me I couldn't play in the NBA. There's always somebody saying you can't do it, and those people have to be ignored.
I try not to read the negative comments, and when I do, I let it roll off my back. I remind myself that there will always be haters as long as you are in the public eye.
When I get hate mail, I get really down on myself, and I read it to my mom, and my mom is like, 'So what? Who cares? These people don't know you, so you can't take the praise or the hate to heart.'
I've learned since 'Drip or Drown' that no one should care what people think. I learned that, after years of comments, it really doesn't matter.
As long as my team wins games, who cares what people say?
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
If there's something that you're passionate about, don't let other people take that passion away from you. If they tell you it's something you can't do, most likely you can do it, so don't give up.
I have learned not to feed the trolls. I just don't respond.
Please ignore rumors! I've had them for years and you have to just let them go over your head. Don't take them personally.
When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it.
A lot of people will say different stuff like, 'You can't do it.' They'll say no before I even say anything. You just have to believe in yourself, and there's a reason they might say no, because they probably haven't seen it before.
You have pundits and fans from other teams who will say loads of things and it goes past me. That's life.
I've got used to criticisms and, naturally, I try to make sure I don't listen to the more extreme ones because most of the people who have taken their right-wing extremist view of my life are people that I've never met.
There's always going to be someone out there... who doesn't believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you're not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing.
