Maddie Alexander Grout

Yeah.

yeah and and it's hard if you're if you're not as resilient as i am and it has taken a long time for me to get to this place where like you know i'm 42 years old and like the amount of fucks that i've got to give is is pretty minimal um you know if people don't like me they don't fucking like me like that's fine i wasn't put on this planet to people please i wasn't put here to have everybody being like oh maddie you're so amazing

The right people think I'm amazing.

That's fabulous.

The wrong people, they're not my people anyway.

And if you don't want something in the press.

That's possibly negative.

And I think one of the things that the press have done with me is they've interviewed me and then they've twisted my words.

They've written their words around my words.
