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.

If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

People said, That's great for your career, but what have you done? I kept feeling I had to defend myself.

I think self-criticism is sort of a given when you're an actor. It's also about being curious and not being flippant. Anyone who accepts being in this noble profession is automatically self-critical.

If you think about it, critics are an unnecessary life-form on the planet Earth, and here's why: because it's a job without credentials. You don't have to go to school.

I'm not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It's really not my place.

My job is to write opinions. I decide cases and write opinions. It is not to respond to idiocy and critics who make statements that are unfounded. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have constructive criticisms, but it should be constructive.

I am very self-critical, but that's a good thing because it keeps me growing as a human being and as a musician.
