Feelings Quote by Hayden Panettiere
“It's kind of insane when you're in the public eye. People feel like they have a right to judge you. But I'm like, you've never met me. You've never spoken to me. And when I read articles about me...how you read the words on paper is not always the way I said them. But I don't need to prove myself to anyone. I'm not that kind of person. It hurts my feelings when I feel disliked by people, because I'm not a generally dislikable person, you know? I think I'm a pretty decent, nice person.”

![“I found myself Tivoing because I was working so much last season [of Heroes], I Tivoed all of the episodes so I could come back and watch them back to back to back and I found myself like I could not put my remote down. I was like, "Just one more episode, please."” quote by Hayden Panettiere](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/606/hayden-panettiere-8329_episodes_i-found-myself-tivoing-because-i-was-wor_144732.jpg)
