To me, constructive criticism is when people take ownership of their ideas. That's why I don't listen to anything that's anonymous. But it's hard; when there's something hurtful out there, I still want to read it over and over and memorize it and explain my point of view to the person.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

You can learn a lot from criticism if you can take what's constructive out of it. If you read a review that starts with, 'This person is an idiot; who do they think they are?', you're not going to learn anything from that.

I like constructive criticism from smart people.

Criticism is part of the creative man's journey, and I appreciate it.

I didn't take constructive criticism the way I should have. When I finally caught up to that, that's when I went to being the MVP.

Every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration. Constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought.

I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.

There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, and I learn from that and better myself. I'm not expecting anyone to be sycophantic in any way; I never expected that.
