I don't want to treat my fans like they are stupid.
Airline pilots are men to be admired and respected. Men to be trusted. Men of means. And you don't expect an airline pilot to be a local resident. Or a check swindler.
I respect people and expect that kind of respect back.
As I respect others, I want others to respect me.
I'm not totally innocent, and I do date. But as a young woman, I also demand respect.
Most cops are not looking for understanding. They work in a world filled with a sense - real or imagined - of danger lurking around each corner and every hallway. Most cops are merely looking for respect.
Managers have very tough jobs. I always respected their job but demanded respect in return.
Oftentimes, when a woman demands accountability, respect, or consideration, she is crazy or nagging or whatever.
I mean I have had a very combative relationship with critics because I'm very impatient with people that don't give my work the respect I feel it deserves.
I hope I give a good performance; I hope it's enjoyable. If I'm a villain and you hate me, that means I'm doing my job. But I'm not the one to stand for anybody to call me out of my name for any reason.
