'So noise outside of that, I think I've done what lots of people who find themselves in the public eye do, which is just try and ignore it,' he explained. 'If you don't, and if you let all of that other stuff in, and if it starts to affect you and your behavior, you're living from the outside in. And then you're pretty f-ked.'.
