Zitat des Tages über Kritik / Critics:
I think women are excellent social critics.
Critics have a problem with sentimentality. Readers do not. I write for readers.
Don't pay any attention to the critics - don't even ignore them.
Nothing could ever stop Kiss. I've seen the band in down times where critics were like vultures circling overhead saying things like, 'Well, you know it's the end of your career.'
A true artist is expected to be all that is noble-minded, and this is not altogether a mistake; on the other hand, however, in what a mean way are critics allowed to pounce upon us.
If I read or listened to critics of our music, I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.
Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck.
In the public debate, while commentators and critics have targeted immigrants with blame and bullying, our nation's immigrants have simply kept on working, kept on contributing, and kept on hoping for a solution.
Critics are not creators. They rarely write great novels, invent new technologies, or come up with a great business idea.
I haven't seen the show, but when it was finished I felt good about what we had done. I don't know how it will stack up with Survival, but that'll be up to the critics.
My views naturally have mellowed. Most of the critics have been more or less nice to me.
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
You should never appease terrorists. The mistake made by critics of the 'talking to your enemy' approach is to equate talking with appeasing.
I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
A critic is a eunuch working in a harem. He watches it, but he knows he can't do it. Critics very often are failed writers and, like failed priests, they hate religion.
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
We don't make movies for critics. I've done four movies; there's millions upon millions upon millions of people who've paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience.
An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmaster of ever afterwards.
Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.
I don't write for publishers, certainly not for critics, and not for readers, But I am delighted that so many people have found my books enjoyable and want to continue to read them.
After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.
I admit I do have some drawbacks and limitations as a candidate. Although I am a professional comedian, some of my critics maintain that this is not enough. I cannot deny that I stand before you untested and inexperienced - I only spent two years in television, never as a romantic lead or a song and dance man.
I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself.
Critics who do the weekly recap, I find that kind of absurd. That's like reviewing chapters in a novel.
I've learned not to attach personal feelings to critics who review your work. It's their opinions, their perceptions - it's a very subjective thing, and you can be hurt.
If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.
Many critics of the Palestinians, especially those in Congress, think the current calm is merely the eye of the storm. That's why the House of Representatives approved a foreign aid package last week that forbade the direct financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority .
Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.
I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics.
I think it's unfortunate to have critics for friends.
The critics had an image of me, and they wouldn't accept any other... I was a cartoon character. A joke.
I've been lucky. The critics never went out of their way to single me out for doing bad work.
Conservation is not without its critics and opposition. There are a lot of special interests that don't want to see land set aside.
Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn't such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre. The most difficult part, I think, was being accepted as a thriller writer. Once you've written romance, unfortunately, critics will never stop calling you a 'former romance author.'
