You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educat

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that youre putting out there, if its received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If its not received, great, I respect you for not. – Octavia Spencer
