I've encountered a lot of people who sound like critics but very few who have substantive criticisms. There is a lot of skepticism, but it seems to be more a matter of inertia than it is of people having some real reason for thinking something else.

My views naturally have mellowed. Most of the critics have been more or less nice to me.

After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.

It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.

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

I guess you'd have to say that sometimes the audience is smarter than the critics.

We don't know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don't always appreciate their fragility.

Have you ever noticed how most critics disagree with the public? That should tell you a lot about critics.

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.

Critics can say horrible things. It only hurts when I agree with them.
