Quote of the day

Whenever there's an interview with me, I might read it, but I don't read the comments because they're so hateful sometimes. When someone writes something nasty, I just think, "If that's your contribution to my day, I really don't need your impoliteness. " I'm lucky that people are very cool with me and I get a lot of love. I appreciate that.
