I don't know anyone in the public eye who has not made a mistake and said something in a manner that does not truly reflect their intentions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We live in the public eye, so if one of us makes a mistake, it affects everyone, which makes me think about what I'm doing in life more.
The public, more often than not, will forgive mistakes, but it will not forgive trying to wriggle and weasel out of one.
The public, more often than not, will forgive mistakes, but it will not forgive trying to wiggle out of one.
I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.
If a person is not willing to make a mistake, you're never going to do anything right.
I know I've made mistakes, and sometimes I've talked about things too openly or directly. That wasn't good, and I've learned from that.
Every person who speaks or writes for the public will make an occasional faux pas, and sooner or later will write or say something inappropriate.
Making mistakes is part of life. The only things I would feel ashamed of would be if I had said things I hadn't believed in order to get on. Some politicians do do that.
I've made my share of mistakes, but had the good fortune to have them not be so public.
Some are very hostile if mistakes are pointed out. I'm not. If I make a mistake, I make a mistake.
