As much as I encourage communication with my readers, I don't want reviews from them, simply because I don't need to be hamstrung in the middle of working on something.

I read every review online, and I want to respond to those, but I resist the urge to do that.

I don't really read reviews... That's not where my attention goes.

I've learned not to attach personal feelings to critics who review your work. It's their opinions, their perceptions - it's a very subjective thing, and you can be hurt.

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.'

I would be far more critical than any reviewer could be of my own work. So I simply don't read them.

I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did.

I don't generally read reviews.

If there's criticism of my work that's legitimate. I'm ready to hear of it.

It's enormously cheering to get a good review by someone who seems to understand your work.
