When all the performances are excellent, critics understand it's the direction.
A critic is someone who enters the battlefield after the war is over and shoots the wounded.
You can't be a critic by simply being a griper. One has also to search out the examples of good work.
I think, it is a challenge to get critics or whoever to see past what you wear and makeup and the way you look and just concentrate on the music.
I don't think the audience always listens to the critics. That's been proven time and time again.
I actually have a good relationship with critics. You have to identify everything that you like and don't like that you see, and that's your job.
Take heed of critics even when they are not fair; resist them even when they are.
Doing what is right in the face of adversity is not always easy or popular. Critics may assail you, but the critics don't always realize what they don't know or don't understand, because they don't have access to all the information.
Money drives the world, but when everything falls apart to leave the underpinnings of our life bare to the scrutiny of critics and thieves, the only thing remaining, the only thing that can't be taken away, is the love you hold for the people you care about.
One of the problems with a lot of "confessional" writing is that it starts and stops with the confessional and doesn't really tie the "I" into a "we" at all. I'm still surprised at how mad critics get at that kind of confessional writing.
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
We can already say emphatically that there is no longer any solid basis for dating any book of the New Testament after about A. D. 80, two full generations before the date between 130 and 150 given by the more radical New Testament critics of today.
Probably you have noted the resemblance of the critic to the crank.
Even my colleagues don't read classic criticism. And my feeling is that if you don't do that then you're not really practicing your craft. That's how you learn how to do it. You don't learn how to write about jazz just from listening to jazz. You learn how to write by reading the great writers and how they worked, the great music critics.
A "critic" is a man who creates nothing.
I really dislike watching myself on screen. I am very insecure about my acting. We are our own biggest critics. I have to sit in another room to my parents when they watch it.
We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.
And you, my Critics! in the chequer'd shade, Admire new light thro' holes yourselves have made.
The difference between critics and audiences is that one is a group of humans and one is not.
