People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
A lot of critics are lazy. They don't want to look closely and analyze something for what it is. They take a quick first impression and then rush to compare it to something they've seen before.
Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.
Being young and dumb, honestly, you pick up some bad habits.
Intelligence minus purpose equals stupidity.
I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.
My parents worry all the time because I trust people very easily.
We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.
I'm really not interested in other people's opinions, because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts.
Yea, there is no way you can get away from critics. It's all over the net. Sometimes it's useful to read things, good or bad. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it stupid because they say stupid things.
Photography is very presumptuous. Photographers are always photographing other people's lives - something they know nothing about - and drawing great inferences into it.
