I learned early on not to listen to either critique - the people who love you or the people who don't like you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tried not to listen very much to the critics. I know that whenever you do something, you must have a lot of critics, or it means that you haven't done anything. I never really bothered much and I don't care.
People and what they say don't bother me like they used to. When I was younger, I really couldn't take it because I couldn't understand where the criticism was coming from.
I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism.
I like reading reviews. If they're clearly hating on you, I try not to read that deeply. But if they really are trying to understand, it's interesting.
When people criticise you, you've got to listen to that criticism, and to learn from it, which I've tried to do.
I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.
I understand those who don't like me.
It's an artist's choice to listen to criticism or not. I'm very sensitive to criticism.
