Quote

I tried not to listen very much to the critics. I know that whenever you do something, you must have a lot of critics, or it means that you haven't done anything. I never really bothered much and I don't care.

Maybe I'm just as bad as my critics who hound me.

I honestly think I could sit down and write a show tonight that the critics would love, and I know it would be canceled within four weeks. I know what the critics love. We write and produce for people, not for critics.

I don't think the audience always listens to the critics. That's been proven time and time again.

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.

I like critics with strong opinions.

I love having critics for breakfast.

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.

Either you live by the barometer of the music critics, or you live by your own. I choose the latter.

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.
