I am very much aware that if I am getting good press at the moment I could just as easily be getting bad press. I cannot have the good and forget the bad. You have to accept it both ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not that great with press sometimes.
I'm not one who goes for the 'all press is good press' dictum.
Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
I'm not someone who is going to give in to a lot of pressure. I've always understood that everything is not always going to be good.
For me, I think that I don't like feeling pressure from outside sources. I'd rather put the pressure on myself and push myself to do it as good as I can.
Pressure brings out the best in me. It's the only way to keep improving: putting a bit of pressure on yourself.
Doing press is like eating at McDonald's: while it's going on it's vaguely enjoyable - you're seduced by your own vanity and taking yourself rather seriously - but immediately afterwards you feel sick.
People think I've got a problem with the press. Actually I have no problem with the press, but just like in football there are a handful who cause problems because they're disrespectful, they're lazy, and above all - and this is what really gets to me - they haven't worked hard to get there.
It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.
I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.
