Critic Quotes

To be a critic, you have to have maybe three percent education, five percent intelligence, two percent style, and 90 percent gall and egomania in equal parts Picture Quote #1

I don’t need a critic to tell me I’m an actor. I make my own way. Nobody’s my boss. Nobody’s ever been my boss Picture Quote #1

I’m probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I’m able Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m my own worst critic, and if I don’t pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won’t be a happy girl Picture Quote #1

The critic is genius at one remove; he is not unlike an actor on the stage, and incarnates in his mind, as the actor embodies in his person, another’s work; only thus does he understand art, realize it, know it; and having arrived at this, his task is done Picture Quote #1

I’d actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can’t be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could Picture Quote #1

Be your own worst critic. When things go wrong it’s tempting to shift the blame. Don’t. Accept responsibility. People will appreciate it, and you will find out what you’re capable of Picture Quote #1

I’ve been all over the world and I’ve never seen a statue of a critic Picture Quote #1

Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a critic Picture Quote #1

Art critic! Is that a profession? When I think we are stupid enough, we painters, to solicit those people’s compliments and to put ourselves into their hands! What shame! Should we even accept that they talk about our work? Picture Quote #1

A critic in my house sees some paintings. Greatly perturbed, he asks for my drawings. My drawings? Never! They are my letters, my secrets Picture Quote #1

A critic knows more than the author he criticizes, or just as much, or at least somewhat less Picture Quote #1

The novelist must be his own most harsh critic and also his own most loving admirer and about both he must say nothing Picture Quote #1

I am often asked at what point in my love affair with films I began to want to be a director or a critic. Truthfully, I don’t know. All I know is that I wanted to get closer and closer to films Picture Quote #1

I’m more comfortable with myself than when I was younger. I hated myself then. Wait, I didn’t hate myself – that’s a strong word. But I was so diffident. I didn’t know how to act, for one. I had no confidence in that area or in myself at all, really. I had a big inner critic and still do. I just don’t listen to it so much Picture Quote #1

Be patient and loving with yourself. You weren’t meant to be your biggest critic, but your biggest fan Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe that a reviewer or a critic can really criticize well unless he can praise well Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, many regard the critic as an enemy, instead of seeing him as a guide to the truth Picture Quote #1

If you find something that you feel you belong to, become a groupie and a fan, and then a critic Picture Quote #1

If you are going to do anything, you must expect criticism. But it’s better to be a doer than a critic. The doer moves; the critic stands still, and is passed by Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s easier to like more things than to dislike them; I’m not a critic in that sense. I find it easier to like more, to be more open and enjoy more things, which has given me more opportunities Picture Quote #1

A critic is someone who enters the battlefield after the war is over and shoots the wounded Picture Quote #1

A man goes to the movies. The critic must be honest enough to admit that he is that man Picture Quote #1

It has been rightly said that what a critic wants to understand he must, at one time, have deeply loved, even if only for a fleeting moment Picture Quote #1

Your function as a critic is to show that it is really you yourself who should have written the book, if you had had the time, and since you hadn’t you are glad that someone else had, although obviously it might have been done better Picture Quote #1

Never, however, do I take shortcuts. There is not path of least resistance in my training. What I do equates to hard manual labor, disciplined grunt work. Once you permit yourself to compromise, you fail yourself. You might be able to fool some people, but you can never fool yourself. Your toughest critic is the one you face every morning in the mirror Picture Quote #1

For a scientist must indeed be freely imaginative and yet skeptical, creative and yet a critic. There is a sense in which he must be free, but another in which his thought must be very preceisely regimented; there is poetry in science, but also a lot of bookkeeping Picture Quote #1

When a critic sets himself up as an arbiter of morality, a judge of the matter and not the manner of a work, he is no longer a critic; he is a censor Picture Quote #1
