When someone is giving you his opinion, you should receive it with deep gratitude even though it is worthless. If you don't, he will not tell you the things that he has seen and heard about you again. It is best to both give and receive opinions in a friendly way.
Other people are like a mirror which reflects back on us the kind of image we cast.
People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.
Constructive criticism is not much accepted in the Caribbean.
Only one time have I had Twitter open when I was doing a game, and after that I took it off my phone. I said, 'This is so counterproductive. I'm actually reacting to people reacting to what I'm saying, and it can't work that way.'
Everyone has an opinion, and it seems that the negative voices can be the loudest, but I chose to focus on the positive comments from readers.
he was for long my only audience... Only from him did I ever get the idea that my ‘stuff’ could be more than a private hobby. But for his interest and unceasing eagerness for more I should never have brought The L. of the R. to a conclusion.
When I say something funny, I don’t laugh, so my friends are always like, ‘Hahahahaaaa!’ so people know. When I’m not with them, I always think, This person doesn’t know I’m funny; they just think I’m a jerk.
No diss to any of my homies, but I pay very close attention to what people say about me.
It's often only other people who notice you have a signature style. I don't think I've got one, though other people tell me I do.
Sometimes it's nice of someone to tell you what you smell like.
The advent of the digital age and the immediacy and convenience of digital video and photography allows people to become an integral part of the feedback loop which actively shapes the content we are fed.
Some of my friends say that I only talk about myself. But it is funny: my house is covered in art but with nothing of my own, and when I'm working, I'm only thinking about what the client wants. So I don't see it that way, but maybe it's true. I mean, they are my friends.
I know I come off differently than I think of myself. I'm always surprised by what people say about me.
I've always been told I was funny.
We all have our own ideas of who we are that may or may not be justified, and you can really find out a heck of a lot more accurately from the people around an individual.

The way you get to know yourself is by the expression on other people's faces.
I'm really happy that YouTube is as complete and successful as it is, to the point where, when things do go wrong, they'll hear about it from every direction.
I have learned from Twitter that you get that instant feedback about what people think about what you did.
Every once in a while I'll say something...I dropped the F-bomb early on in my career. There was this lesbian couple and they looked super-hip. One of them looked at me and shook her head, like "Don't do that." I think she was doing it to say, "It doesn't work." She didn't say anything but it was this cautionary moment. I knew it didn't work. There are just so many other words to choose from.
For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
I didn't really realize how big I was 'til I started to tour, because being in your own neighborhood, people don't actually give you full props.
I've seldom minded other people's opinions, but the other side of that coin is that I've seldom been interested by them, um their opinions about me I mean.
There's a lot of social input when you put these things out there. People's ideas cross with other people's thoughts.
