Quote

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.

Whenever you do anything public, you open yourself up to be criticized.

Critics have a job to do. I understand that. It's not just to criticize. They're trying to interpret art for the public.

I have been frequently accused of deliberately twisting subject matter to my point of view. Above all, I know that life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love.

When you put yourself out into the world and say, 'Hey, look at me,' you're going to get criticized.

If you get criticized, good - I don't think people get criticized enough. People talk behind your back and they criticize you, but they don't often come up and say it to you.

In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance.

I can't control the criticism. It's something you certainly don't appreciate, but by the same token, everybody is entitled to their opinion.
