It's hard enough doing something bold without jumping into your bad reviews.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try my hardest not to read reviews.
I don't read reviews until after I'm done with a production, but when I do finally get to them, I'm always sort of floored by what the bad ones say.
I have friends who will critique me much harder than any review.
My toughest criticism usually comes from myself. As my editor can attest to, I'm never done tweaking a book until the production department has to rip it from my hands!
A great review is great. A bad review is the worst.
I don't like to read reviews. Even the good ones you start to analyze: 'Oh, did I do that? I have to make sure I do that again.'
To me, I read good reviews in lots of papers and bad reviews in lots of papers.
Praise and criticism seem to me to operate exactly on the same level. If you get a great review, it's really thrilling for about ten minutes. If you get a bad review, it's really crushing for ten minutes. Either way, you go on.
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
I'm not one to get bad reviews.
