I can take criticisms but not compliments.

People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.

Criticism is prejudice made plausible.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

I think it's important to see where compliments are coming from - if they're compliments about your inside, your heart, or if they're about your physicality or your personality.

I've got the public. I don't care about the critics. I did at one time. I don't any more. I did when I needed compliments. But if you get a lot of compliments, you don't need a critic to tell you, 'This should be done another way.'

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

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.

If you look at our world, it's a world of critique.
