Quote

The lot of critics is to be remembered by what they failed to understand.

Everybody is going to have their critics. It's easy to get discouraged in life.

Critics have their purposes, and they're supposed to do what they do, but sometimes they get a little carried away with what they think someone should have done, rather than concerning themselves with what they did.

I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves.

Some critics are stimulating in that they make you realise how you could do better, and those are valued.

Take heed of critics even when they are not fair; resist them even when they are.

I feel I'm often misunderstood by critics. People project a lot or exaggerate the subjective fragility simply because it's frightening to them.

There is a price for popularity. Critics look for your weaknesses, your flaws, anything that makes the work seem like a fluke and not seem worthy of all the attention it's getting.

If you can't tolerate critics, don't do anything new or interesting.

I don't focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, then I don't worry about it.
