I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my career, my movies tend to polarize critics.
I still think like a critic, and I still analyze films like a critic. However, it's not possible to write criticism if you're making films.
I have learned that I will not pay any attention to anything people say about my movies, because people say things that are all over the place.
I think to be a movie critic is troubling from one major respect. If you are forced to watch ten movies a week, it's really only something you can do for a few years. After a while, it's a bit too much.
I'm not making films for critics, I'm making films for people to go out and enjoy.
You learn as much from doing a bad film as a good one.
The biggest critics of my books are people who never read them.
I know all the critics.
I read every single review, because I love film criticism and I'm interested.
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.
