It's just a game. I love it. And yeah, I get frustrated, but I try to not let it get me too upset. I mean, I don't get upset over bad shots or anything like that.
I tried, after I wrote 'Twilight,' to read 'The Historian,' because it was the big thing that summer. But I can't read other people's vampires. If it's too close, I get upset; if it's too far away, I get upset. It just makes me very neurotic.
In the past I've tended to overreact. I was sure I'd be a superstar by the time I was twenty-one. Baseball messed up my plan of life. When I fail I get upset. Sometimes I get upset too quickly, without thinking of consequences.
I think I'm lucky, in a way, because with the criticism I get online, it's mostly from really young girls that are fans of One Direction, and they're kind of already known for being mean online. So the things that they insult me with are things that don't really bother me.
When I get serious criticism - if I get serious criticism - it's about how I'm thinking and engaging in a topic. I can't think of an example of someone saying, 'You're too nice.'
I don't expect people to feel sorry for me. My teammates get more upset about the criticism and booing than I do.
It is important to know that criticism is a natural part of life and speaking out, and to know that a certain amount of the criticism you receive may have nothing to do with you, your argument, or the way you are articulating yourself. Some criticism online and in the physical world is neither constructive, nor balanced or intelligent. Some of it is abuse.
I've been online doing all kinds of research and that seems to be the constant criticism, that Aibileen's accent was just too thick. And for me, I don't want anything to distract from the character.
One of the most valuable things one of my art teachers said to me was, ‘Don’t get upset by criticism. Value the fact that at least someone noticed what you did.
Because I have something to say doesn't mean everyone has to take it too seriously or get too upset that it rubs them the wrong way.
I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.
People are very upset with Washington. They're upset with Democrats. They're upset with Republicans. They're upset with the establishment.
Most of the criticism I get is that I am too positive and too hopeful... in my words, I don't beat people down enough.
Criticism can bother you, but you should be more bothered if there’s no criticism. That means you’re too safe
I'm not big on awareness about what's going on online but usually if you do too much online stuff then you usually bump into something that hurts.
I am always surprised when people do get upset. Perhaps its just the nutty people who write to newspapers who get upset.
