Some critics have been very harsh. That's okay. I like honest criticism.

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.

You have to take criticism with a grain of salt because you're never going to please everybody.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.

Criticism is always hard to take - we musicians are sensitive. It's always hard when someone says something negative - but you try to learn to just let it roll off and not worry about it.

It becomes obvious when people are sincere in their criticism and when they're not. I've learned over time that people will always have something to say.
