When you have real power you don't threaten. People know what your capabilities are.

I have been threatened occasionally. But that happens to everybody who is writing this kind of things. Threats will come without fail. It might happen to the most 'innocent' texts. If it gets too much we call the police.

The personal threat is something that's always been a part of our lives.

It's one thing to say, 'I don't like what you said to me and I find it rude and offensive,' but the moment you threaten violence in return, you've taken it to another level, where you lose whatever credibility you had.

When something is troubling me, people know about it.

People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does.

Some will criticize me no matter what I do.

People can say whatever they want about you without knowing the facts. They can criticize you without even knowing you, and hate you when they don't even know you. All of a sudden, you're, like, the bin Laden of America. Osama bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I'm going through.

I live in a world where there's magazines and blogs, and people feel like they are allowed to criticize me, and in the meanest way.
