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.
Tucker Max
Image
No one has ever built a statue to a critic, it's true. On the other hand, it's only the people with statues that get pooped on by birds flying by.
Seth Godin
Image
I get a lot of flack from critics that my comedies are all over the place, my dramas are all over the place, they're schizophrenic - as if I don't know that!
Tyler Perry
Image
artists often lie behind on the field long after the art combine, the broad-bladed harvester of informed criticism, has mowed, bailed, and stored the crop.
Anne Truitt
Image
I really consider myself a writer, and a writer who is sometimes a social critic. I'm not an ideologue, I don't join a party. I follow along and take notes. Sometimes I throw in my two cents.
Anne Roiphe
Image
I've been reading reviews of my stories for twenty-five years, and can't remember a single useful point in any of them, or the slightest good advice. The only reviewer who ever made an impression on me was Skabichevsky, who prophesied that I would die drunk in the bottom of a ditch.
Anton Chekhov
Image
It's probably your fiercest critics - not your compatriots - who have the sharpest, most resonant insights.
Umair Haque

Well, it's great that critics are comparing me to Eminem, and not Vanilla Ice.
Uncle Kracker

Toni Morrison said, The function of freedom is to free someone else, and if you are no longer wracked or in bondage to a person or a way of life, tell your story. Risk freeing someone else. Not everyone will be glad that you did. Members of your family and other critics may wish you had kept your secrets. Oh, well, what are you going to do?
Anne Lamott
Image
I think without the harsh critics, I would maybe have not made progress. From BloodRayne on, I spent more time and money on the development.
Uwe Boll
Image
I think the harsh reviews helped, in that I spent way more energy in the preproduction and development. From this point of view, I'm very thankful for the harsh critics. I still think the critics were unnecessarily insulting in a lot of things, but I think it helped.
Uwe Boll
Image
You become a film critic because you're interested in film. I don't know whether knowing so much about cinema leads you to make better films, but it certainly can't hurt.
Michael Haneke
Image
Not everyone agrees on music. Some people like rap, some like country - it's all an opinion. F the critics.
Vanilla Ice
Image
Be a harsh critic of your own wins.
Vasilios Kotronias
Image
The naysayers, they don't mean a thing.
Venus Williams
Image
One of the little-celebrated powers of Presidents (and other high government officials) is to listen to their critics with just enough sympathy to ensure their silence.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Image
If the press really thinks Obama is Lincoln, they ought to treat him like they treated Bush, 'cause that's how they treated Lincoln. His critics compared Lincoln to an ape they called him an illiterate baboon.
Ann Coulter
Image
I'm my own most merciless critic onstage.
Keith Jarrett
Image
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
You can be a patriotic American and be a critic, but then you're not expressing that kind of love that we're used to from a president.
Rudy Giuliani
Image
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I wish all critics, no matter their color, were more sophisticated when it comes to the moral questions a film like 'St. Anna' is trying to raise.
James McBride
Image
We often feed the critic gourmet meals and starve the rest.
Angeles Arrien
Image
When critics ask you if you feel vindicated by other critics - I didn't like critics then, and I don't like them now. There you go. I've always been outside the mainstream, and it stayed that way.
