My first introduction to the existence of haters was in rap music.

Haters are a fixed cost of life.
If you do anything, people will criticize you.
If you do nothing, people will criticize you.
So you might as well do something you love enough to be hated for.

[In response to Time editor Edward Felsenthal question about how she dealt with all the haters] I would like to say something that I think people need to know more than how I deal with haters.

Haters are sometimes people who can't understand why everybody loves you.

Every time I speak of the haters and losers I do so with great love and affection. They cannot help the fact that they were born fucked up!

Having haters is just a part of the business, and the more haters you have, the more people like you - that's how I view it, because I try to see the positive in things

Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody else likes you

You have haters from all walks of life. I could care less who wants me to fail. They inspire me. Motivates me.

May my haters live very long to see my continued success and make their lives miserable.

Without haters, you can't see the level of your progress, that shows you that haters are necessary evil.

The more popular you became, the more haters you acquired.

Use Your Haters and Doubters to Drive You

a writer once asked what I'd say if i ever met my biggest hater. I paused, thought deeply and said, "probably 'suk a dog dik, motherfuker'"

Haters want us to hate them, because hate is incapacitating. When we hate, we can’t operate from our real selves, which is our strength.
