Each time I reach a goal or read a great review, I am beyond pleased.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I do find enormously gratifying is the reviews my books get from the American press. They are so on the ball compared to anywhere else. It's so satisfying to get a review that conveys the reader understood precisely what I was trying to get at.
It's enormously cheering to get a good review by someone who seems to understand your work.
For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.
I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did.
It makes me very happy when I create goals or score goals myself, but the most important thing is that the team reaches its goal and plays positive football.
I'm pleased with my life, with the journey.
What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight, and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.
To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.
Praise and criticism seem to me to operate exactly on the same level. If you get a great review, it's really thrilling for about ten minutes. If you get a bad review, it's really crushing for ten minutes. Either way, you go on.
