I can't control the criticism. It's something you certainly don't appreciate, but by the same token, everybody is entitled to their opinion.

To me, a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions. No offense, but what makes them dictate what is cool and what is not.

I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.

I like critics with strong opinions.

I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.

I'm not trying to brainwash my critics. If they're critics, they're critics, and that's their job to be critical, but I certainly enjoy the involvement I have with my fans. I enjoy the time I get to spend with them, and I don't waste time with someone stubborn who is not going to come around.

You never want to sound bitter about critics, because they're entitled to do their job, too, but I place much more trust in a person who I can look in the eye and someone who I know I share some kind of taste with - so my friends, for instance. For me, a critic is unknown and therefore irrelevant.

I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

People have a right to criticize.
