Quote

Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.

You can learn a lot from criticism if you can take what's constructive out of it. If you read a review that starts with, 'This person is an idiot; who do they think they are?', you're not going to learn anything from that.

I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.

I don't take criticism lying down.

If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn't. It just makes you a sad bitter old showbiz nightmare.

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

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.

When I was a kid, I had a tendency to criticize. But when I did, my mum would whisk me off to the bathroom to stand in front of a mirror. Ten minutes, never less. To think about how criticism is a poor reflection on the one who criticizes.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.
