I do not live for people, for what they think, for them to say that I'm nice, good, the best, perfect. Everyone has their opinion. And I respect that.
Everyone is entitled to their own political opinions. It is what makes our country great.
Most of us believe everyone has a right to his own opinion - as long as it agrees with ours.
I know I'm not a bully and everybody has their opinions and that's fine with me.
I appreciate all the kids who come up and enjoy my play at OU. But everybody giving me their opinions is where I draw the line. If it's someone who hasn't been there before, I really can't handle it. It's 'Slide more.' 'Don't take as many hits.' 'Get out of bounds.' I know they have my best interests at heart. I just have to remind myself of that.
Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.
I don't think people are monsters if they put ketchup on hot dogs, but I'm good without it. It's a debate that I don't get too hot-and-heavy with.
Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.
It is important in a democracy to respect contrary opinion without impugning the motives or maligning the character of ones opponents. To view it any other way is to encourage the same type of sickness in public life that leads to assassinations.
In the long run an opinion often borrows credit from the forbearance of its patrons.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion about me, and that's fine. I'm just going to keep being myself and living my life. That's all I can do.
I don't mind opinions, because you like something or you don't like something, but to say things about your personal life? I'm like, "Man, let me quit reading this. 'Cause I'll stab everybody."
If I get a bad review, I don't take it personally because everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.
I have no problem with anyone's view about what we do, I really don't. Very rarely does it stick in my craw what managers or media outlets say about us.
It is amazing how many people act as if the right to free speech includes the right to be free of criticism for what you say - which means that other people should not have the same right to free speech that they claim for themselves.
People's sex habits are as well known in Hollywood as their political opinions, and much less criticized.
Reviewers are certainly entitled to their own opinions. I've become buddies with enough writers and directors, and to be perfectly honest, the ones that have lasted a long time don't pay a lot of attention to the reviews.
