I'm honest about expressing my opinions. At the same time, I'm diplomatic in how I do critique things if I have a negative response.

But my manners also came from when I was in college and began participating in critiques. You have to speak with someone respectfully about their work and be honest and open, without hurting them.

There are very few people who honestly admit that they are diplomatic, and rest diplomatically say that they are honest.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

I am not one of those who in expressing opinions confine themselves to facts

But if I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I'd choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
