For all the criticism of me, there's one thing you won't hear anybody say, and that's that I've pulled the wool over anyone's eyes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've now got a 35,000-word document of quotes from people who hate me, a lot from the 'Guardian' comment threads. Mostly, I've managed to get myself into the mindset where the criticism is quite affirming.
People and what they say don't bother me like they used to. When I was younger, I really couldn't take it because I couldn't understand where the criticism was coming from.
I can take criticisms but not compliments.
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.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
One thing that I don't think my critics realize about me is that I've been trained to look adversity in the face.
When people criticise you, you've got to listen to that criticism, and to learn from it, which I've tried to do.
I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.
Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.
I'm not afraid of criticism or what somebody may think.
