But on the extremist side I didn't get any rejections at all. Everyone agreed to talk to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
These rejections hurt me terribly because I felt it was my life that was being rejected.
Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.
There's no point in dwelling on rejection.
I've always hated rejection; I only want to go out there when I know I've got it right.
Knowing that you're the one who's been rejected, God it makes you feel isolated. I defy anybody not to be a bit upset. I felt as though I'd walked into the house trailing all this baggage.
You're going to have more rejection than acceptance.
I'm an extremist so I'm either hated or loved. I think it's down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people don't forget.
Nobody likes to be rejected, you know?
I took all of my rejection letters - there must have been thousands of them in a huge box - and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying.
I had my share of rejections.
