I'm hard on myself. I'm my biggest critic.

I'm a harsh critic, you know? I am.

I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.

It's difficult to see yourself up on screen without being a critic.

I'm my own severest critic, and I realize when I make mistakes.

I'm my worst critic, and I like the fact that I can listen to myself now and make fun of myself, listen, make changes - 'Oh, man, that's messed up. Okay, I need to work on that; I need to work on this.'

I don't think of myself as a critic at all. I'm a reviewer and essayist. I mainly hope to share with others my pleasure in the books and authors I write about, though sometimes I do need to cavil and point out shortcomings.

The key thing is you can be the only person, your own critic.

Your harshest critic is always going to be yourself. Don't ignore that critic but don't give it more attention than it deserves.

I'm probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I'm able.
