I didn't have to inspire John toward the avant-garde; he did not need anything from me. That is why it's so interesting that critics decided to dislike me. At some point the members of the quartet felt it was time for a change, and left on their own.

I think as you get older, you realize there's always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings. It's less about proving people wrong, the critics wrong, and it's more about challenging myself to keep this level up.

Aaron Rodgers

Time Change You

Critics have a job to do. They do not criticise you without reason.

Abhishek Bachchan

You Without Wit

It's quite good when you fall flat on your bum on a creative level. Critics can hate what I do, or I've got something completely wrong, and it's good because that ego thing gets zapped for a while.

Abi Morgan

Good Your You

If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.

Adam McKay

Movies Age Your

A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.

Adam Sandler

Work Worked Ways

Obviously we're all our own biggest critics.

Adam Vinatieri

Us T Sly

I know people say that we are a load of beer drinkers but we are far more professional these days. These critics should come and have a go at playing darts if they think it is so easy.

Adrian Lewis

Art Yin Think

The critics never ever one time fairly criticized my son.

Afeni Shakur

Time Tim T

Critics who complain that we don't do anything new will hopefully be happy with 'Oopiri.'

Akkineni Nagarjuna

Hope Wit Will

I was once described by one of my critics as an aesthetic fascist.

Alan Parker

If you have lost matches and not played to potential, criticism will come your way. Critics and media will say what they see and take you on. They will say things which you might not like to hear. But that's professional sport.

Alastair Cook

Your You Will

When you have critics filing on Twitter, it leaves no time for thought and perspective.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Time You Wit

The biggest critics are in the comments online. People are so judgmental of me. It's like, 'Why is she wearing this?' or 'Why isn't she wearing that?' or 'Why does she talk like that?' That's the worst because they're judging for no reason.

Alessia Cara

Men Worst Why

For years, critics of Fannie Mae have warned that it does not give them enough information to judge its risks.

Alex Berenson

War Years Year

In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius.

Alex Cox

Good Where Were

It's difficult for one filmmaker to criticize another. That's a job best left to critics.

Alex Gibney

T Other MMA

Critics can say what they like about the films, but very often, there's a certain expectation of documentaries that they're supposed to be like PowerPoint presentations. I see documentaries as movies. So when I see some critics writing that we could have done without the recreations altogether - well, perhaps.

Alex Gibney

Power Movies Men

I am humbled at the fact that I always get great support and reviews from my critics, but it's the film that requires to be good enough for it to work.

Ali Fazal

Work Great Good

I didn't have to inspire John toward the avant-garde; he did not need anything from me. That is why it's so interesting that critics decided to dislike me. At some point the members of the quartet felt it was time for a change, and left on their own.

Alice Coltrane

War Time Change

It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.

Alice Walker

What makes me feel good is all of the people that rooted for A.I. get a chance to say, 'He did what you never thought he could do. The critics. He did what you never thought he could accomplish.' This is a moment that me and my fans and my family and friends can share together because we always believed in the dream.

Allen Iverson

For some reason most critics have a hard time fixing their minds directly under their noses, and before they see the object that is there they use a telescope upon the horizon to see where it came from.

Allen Tate

Nothing feels worse than knowing that people didn't see your movie. That they wanted to and the critics loved it but nobody knew where it was because it didn't do what it was supposed to do opening weekend. It used to be that independents were allowed to stay in the theaters, build word of mouth.

Allison Anders

You can't expect critics to appreciate all kinds of cinema.

Allu Arjun

I don't make films for critics.

Allu Arjun

If my film doesn't make money, it means people didn't go watch it. So it doesn't matter then that the critics loved it.

Allu Arjun

Music critics think of lyrics first and don't consider melody but so many songs are lyrically depressing but musically great, and that's why they become classics.

Aloe Blacc

In London, the food critics are harsher, the clients milder; in Hong Kong, the clients are harsher, the critics milder.

Alvin Leung

No government intent on persecuting its critics will want to leave the outcome of a trial to chance.

Amal Clooney

When you dare me to do something, I will say, 'Watch me'. That is what I say to critics. 'Watch me'.

Amaury Nolasco

When I'm writing, I am lost in my book. Except family and close friends, I don't care about what critics, publishers or readers might think.

Amish Tripathi

As a writer, it's important to stay true to your story without giving a hoot about publishers, critics and readers. You should do your karma as an author the way you want to, and rest is up to God.

Amish Tripathi

Such is the impurity of our enterprise, as writers or as critics, that even in the act of proclaiming our freedom from the demands of authenticity, we are never free from brandishing it.

Amitava Kumar

In any job, you can come under attack or have a door slammed in your face. You do want to listen to critics; you don't want to be in a cocoon and never change. Get a second opinion from coworkers and friends. Know that criticism can be valid, but don't take it personally.

Amy Klobuchar

Here's the thing with the business, is that when people like your work, and you make them money, you're set. When the critics like you, and you make the studios money, doors opened.

Andie MacDowell

I don't worry about what the critics say.

Andre Drummond

Music critics have made it quite clear that any composer who ever contributed a four-bar jingle to a film was to be referred to as a 'Hollywood composer' from then on, even if the rest of his output were to consist solely of liturgical organ sonatas.

Andre Previn

There's a small group of music critics in the States who will forgive you anything - jazz, a long prison term, or what have you - anything but scoring a Hollywood musical.

Andre Previn

Critics or musicians who attack me are jealous of my success and the fact that I make people feel so happy.

Andre Rieu

I know that a ridiculous number of classic serials have been commissioned, and that reviews show a reaction against them. The critics seem fed up.

Andrew Davies

I don't care about the critics.

Andrew Lau

I don't really care very much if I don't think that the critics really understand music.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

The critics can't say that our regulations are making the environment worse, and 'Oh, it's getting better, well then it must be somebody else who made it better.'

Andrew R. Wheeler

Critics, how I would love if you could clear the word 'sentimental' from your minds.

Andrew Sean Greer

Sociological critics are waste makers.

Andy Warhol

The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.

Ang Lee

Over the years, the critics have said, 'They never change.' Maybe the little guy's got a new color of school uniform. I always thought, 'Well, what were we going to change into?' A jazz band? A keyboard band?

Angus Young

Film critics said I gave a voice to the fear we all have: that we'll reach a certain point in our lives, look around and realize that all the things we said we'd do and become will never come to be - and that we're ordinary.

Ann Bancroft

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
