People will never look beyond what they want to look at.

It doesnt matter if you aren't who they think you are. Because people will only believe what they want to believe. See what they want to see. Hear what they want to hear.

And whoever told you that your image is secondary, and character is important, was lying to you.

We're all hypocrites. We're all lying to someone, or about something. And truth is, most of the times people don't really care who you really are, but which role you're playing now.

Forget about being sincere. If you can fake sincerity, you can do anything and get away with it.
