There is a price for popularity. Critics look for your weaknesses, your flaws, anything that makes the work seem like a fluke and not seem worthy of all the attention it's getting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves.
Critics only make you stronger. You have to look at what they are saying as feedback. Sometimes the feedback helps, and other times, it's just noise that can be a distraction.
Some critics are stimulating in that they make you realise how you could do better, and those are valued.
A lot of critics are lazy. They don't want to look closely and analyze something for what it is. They take a quick first impression and then rush to compare it to something they've seen before.
Critics can be your most important friend. I don't read criticism of my stuff only because when it's bad, it's rough-and when it's good, it's not good enough.
For some critics we might be uncool on account of our popularity.
Critics have their purposes, and they're supposed to do what they do, but sometimes they get a little carried away with what they think someone should have done, rather than concerning themselves with what they did.
Have you ever noticed how most critics disagree with the public? That should tell you a lot about critics.
Critics are not creators. They rarely write great novels, invent new technologies, or come up with a great business idea.
