What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can. I've been criticized on many, many occasions, because of - acquaintances, and what have you.

I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.

Some will criticize me no matter what I do.

When people criticise you, you've got to listen to that criticism, and to learn from it, which I've tried to do.

If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

You've got to invest your own time, invest your own resources into creating a better world, not only for yourself but for the people you surround yourself with.

The key thing is you can be the only person, your own critic.

The important thing to me is that I'm not driven by people's praise and I'm not slowed down by people's criticism. I'm just trying to work at the highest level I can.

I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.
