In the older folklore, faeries were frightening beings. In fact, it was such a bad idea to get their attention that people would use flattering euphemisms for them, such as 'the people of peace,' 'the little people,' and 'the good neighbors.'

In der älteren Folklore waren Feen erschreckende Wesen. Es war in der Tat eine so schlechte Idee, ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zu ziehen, dass die Leute schmeichelhafte Euphemismen für sie verwenden würden, wie „die Menschen des Friedens“, „die kleinen Leute“ und „die guten Nachbarn“.

I've been booed off the field, and I've been carried off the field by people cheering me. So I've seen both ends of it, and I can tell you the bad side of it gets a lot more attention than the good side does, but the good side is pretty darned good when it's on your side.

Some people with blogs are never going to get famous, and they've been doing it for, like, over a year. I feel bad for them.

If you're going to play the bargaining game, you just need to make the other side mad. You want them to get a little annoyed. Then you know that you've come in with a good price.

I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it.
