Of course I've had a problem with people taking me seriously because of my age. People are always going do that because you're less experienced; you haven't lived as much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you take things too seriously, you get old. You have to be silly. Whenever people say, 'Hey, man, are you ever going to grow up?' That's when you know you're doing things right.
I find it odd that people take me seriously.
I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.
I don't take myself seriously. Others should take me seriously, I don't.
It's funny, a lot of people think I take myself seriously because I come off so serious sometimes. But it's not that I take myself seriously, I take what I do seriously.
I'm always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.
I don't take myself too seriously, but I take the job very seriously, and I expect people to do the job that they're given because this is about all our people, young and old, and it's an enormous responsibility.
I don't take myself terribly seriously. It's why I can be incredibly honest about my life.
Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.
