MARY J. BLIGE INTERVIEW AND LIVE PERFORMANCE ON THE LOPEZ SHOW

Out of the summer ‘09 archives… Asher Roth explains his philosophy on dealing with critics and why he doesn’t read about himself online.

Given the spread of unfounded rumours published about him last week all over the internet, his mindset on handling criticism seems as relevant as ever.

On reading about himself: “I’m a human being, so if they say some hurtful things – it hurts. You’re just like, ‘Damn, I feel like shit right now.’ So there’s nothing really good can come from it unless you have a really, really good perspective on things – so for me, I just stay away from it.”
