I think maybe in a way it gets worse because you come in with a real reputation and they've paid you lots of money and all that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a bad reputation, I guess.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
It's better to not have a reputation than a bad one.
I've never tried to enhance my reputation. Never moved upwards from one thing to another. That sort of thing is of no interest to me at all.
A good reputation is more valuable than money.
Usually, it gets worse and worse as they downsize your character; mine just kept getting better.
All this stuff doesn't happen to you for your own sake. It doesn't happen to you so you can fill your shelves with trophies or line your pockets with cash; it happens so you can have a positive influence and encourage other people.
Believe me, I've totally blown any kind of so-called reputation I may have had. I really don't care. I think that's one of the joys of getting older; you just stop caring about things like that.
A reputation takes years and years and years to build, and it takes one press of a button to ruin it. Don't let that happen to you. You've done so much work; you've put in so much effort. Don't let one moment ruin your entire life because you wanted to be funny or you were mad or because you had a mood.
You can't buy a good reputation; you must earn it.
