I've learned that no matter what I do, people are going to have their opinions.
I study the ways new media shapes people's perceptions of the world.
It is so shocking to find out how many people do not believe that they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.
You can't take people's opinions personally. Usually what people say about it is a reflection of them own issues.
I'm trying to get a thicker skin. I like to be aware of people's perceptions of me, but when you put it as a priority, as a means to judging your worth, that's when it can be dangerous.
It's unfortunate how people assume so much about your life based on the work you do.
You always feel like you are the only one in the world, like everyone else is crazy for each other, but it's not true. Generally, people don't like each other very much. And that goes for friends, too.
I get a lot of people that say, 'You know what, I heard that you're a painter, and I thought, 'Oh, another model who is saying she's an artist.' They assumed it was going to be a few splashes on a canvas.
People's expectations of what I'm capable of doing are very low. People have been used to hearing little one-liners and me play around.
