I don't really understand what the public perception of me is. I think public perception and reality are two wholly different things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The image you see of me out in public is really different from who I am in real life.
The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don't know what my public image is. I have no idea.
When you are in the public eye, it is really counterproductive to think about how you're viewed in the eyes of others. You just have to be who you are.
Perception is reality.
I have no idea how I'm perceived in America because I don't live the reality of America.
I care about public perception, yes. I don't care about my enemies' perception.
The public is a part of my real life.
I see that people now recognize me in the street. But it doesn't change me in the depth of my being.
I'm not interested in trying to work on people's perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don't take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.
People's perceptions of me have nothing to do with reality. I'm basically just your average dork.
