I think the criticism that I take to heart is from other writers that I respect.
Steve Earle

I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers - the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and rumors.
Beverley Mitchell

I think there are different ways of being rigorous, and I am asking people to be as rigorous in their pleasure as in their criticism.
Barbara Kruger

I would guess that any criticism about Wal-Mart could have some element of truth with 1,500,000 people.
Lee Scott

I'll tell you, I think that the Internet has provided an enormous boost to film criticism by giving people an opportunity to self publish or to find sites that are friendly.
Roger Ebert

I'm a judge. It seemed to me that it was critical to try to take action to stem the criticism and help people understand that in the constitutional framework, it's terribly important not to have a system of retaliation against decisions people don't like.
Sandra Day O'Connor

I'm easy to work with, not a pushover, but I respond to criticism and find it inspiring.
Ben Elton

I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.
Tim Robbins

I'm still trying to discover my position on my own artwork and hopefully at this exhibition someone will come and tell me. I'm open to listening to criticism.
Graham Coxon

I'm vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is, because you work alone in your studio and, until recently, critics were the only way you'd get any feedback.
Howard Hodgkin

I've had trouble with criticism, I guess. It's hard to know what role criticism plays in either encouraging poets or in getting other people to read them.
Kenneth Koch

If I were white, I'd get less criticism.
Lenny Kravitz

If we are to have such a discipline we must have standards, and to get our standards under existing conditions we must have criticism.
Irving Babbitt

If you can't fully believe in your ideas, it very quickly communicates to a group of actors who need something to hold onto. They need to believe that whatever criticism, whatever comment is received, is meant.
Trevor Nunn

If you keep your feathers well oiled the water of criticism will run off as from a duck's back.
Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
Katharine Hepburn

If you're going to get into social criticism with absurdity and satire, you can't be politically correct when you do that.
John Cusack

In a way, I have to have a dictatorship. I can't be told that I'm wrong. That conflicts with what I was saying earlier about listening. It isn't to do with receiving criticism and responding to other views, it's who has that last decision.
Trevor Nunn

In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.
Edgar Allan Poe

In every society in human history, including the United States, those in power seek to imbue themselves with the attributes of religion and patriotism as a way of getting greater support for their policy and insulating themselves from any criticism.
George J. Mitchell
