Critics stopped being relevant when they stopped writing to inform and contextualize, and when they started writing to signal who they are, to display their identity by their stance on what they are writing about. Criticism should never be about the critic, but thats what it has become, and that’s why no one cares about them anymore.

One big lesson I learned from movie [making] was I don't do creative projects that I headline unless I have all the control.

Until I'm in charge, I don't want to play that game.
