Kim Kardashian doesn't always get the credit she deserves.

But, after years of being in the spotlight, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has learned ignore negativity. "To be honest, I don't really pay too much attention to it," she said during a three-part interview with NBC's Access Hollywood.

"I get more fed up with questions like—I was travelling recently and I was doing a press day and people were like, 'How do you feel when people say what do you do?' And I'm like, 'I'm here working aren't I? Like, I'm here to promote something,'" said Kim, who, in addition to her E! reality show, co-owns DASH boutiques, helped develop her own mobile game and published a book, among other ventures.

"I said, 'Hey why don't you do this—tell someone else that you think can do it,'" she said. "'Tell them to do everything that I've done in my career and see if they end up where I'm at.' Try it. Just try it. I dare you.'"

Kim, whose empire includes fashion and beauty lines, has more than 65 million followers on social media. Does she ever read mean comments? "I do sometimes."

"Do you block them?" host Billy Bush asked.

"I don't really spend the time to," Kim admitted. "I find it so weird that people follow you just to be negative." However, in some instances, she takes action. "I will block someone if they say something negative about my daughter [North West]."

Kim also talked about the future of Keeping up with the Kardashians.

"Every time we're like, 'OK our contracts are up...We're not exciting, there's nothing to share,' and then there are things where we feel like there has got to be other people going through what we're going through and why don't we just continue doing it while we're having fun," she explained to Billy. "It's still fun."
