"I’d like to talk about haters—how do you handle that? Do you listen to them?"

"No, no. At first, when the hate started—because in the beginning, no one really has haters—but once you’ve been around for a while and people start talking about you, that’s when some people start getting irritated."

"Of course."

"Yeah, it bothers them, and they feel the need to throw their negativity at you. But then you realize that it has nothing to do with you—it’s all about them. So you stop taking it personally, and eventually, you stop caring about what they say because you know it’s not really going to hurt you."
