It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.
How you present yourself is nobody's business but your own. The stylists have an opinion. The hair people have an opinion. The fans and the management have opinions. Ultimately, you have to trust that you are the safe-keeper of yourself.
I had grown tired of standing in the lean and lonely front line facing the greatest enemy that ever confronted man – public opinion.
I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust, but most of all I listen to myself.
I'm a very private person. I barely tell my friends what's going on half the time, so the idea that I should then talk to the world about what is going on seems anathema to me. People can say what they want. I'm not going to change anyone's mind.
I try my hardest not to read reviews.
I'm not the kind of person that seeks out other people's opinions on my works.
I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.
You have to stay true to yourself, and as long as you are comfortable, then no one else's opinion matters.
An unflinching determination to take the whole evidence into account is the only method of preservation against the fluctuating extremes of fashionable opinion.
