Reviewers Quotes

O you chorus of indolent reviewers Picture Quote #1

You know reviewers, they are the wind in their own sails Picture Quote #1

I have been extremely lucky with reviewers and critics throughout my career Picture Quote #1

Unlike other people, our reviewers are powerful because they believe in nothing Picture Quote #1

I did think reviewers were supposed to be polite about story collections - collections are rather delicate creatures in the literary environment - but not everybody got this memo, I guess Picture Quote #1

By paying attention to the opinion of the visible reading public and of the usual reviewers, one falls into the most fatuous confusion Picture Quote #1

Now, practically all reviewers have academic aspirations. The people from the universities are used to a captive audience, but the literary journalist has to please his audience Picture Quote #1

I thought I was attractive when I shot ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding.’ Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them Picture Quote #1

We don’t really need reviewers, just first-night reporters who will tell us faithfully whether or not the audience liked the show Picture Quote #1

Reviewers said Ghost Country was rich, astonishing and affecting in the way it blended comedy, magic, and a gritty urban realism in a breathtaking ride along Chicago’s mean streets Picture Quote #1

I don’t read the reviews because they’re too horrible and the reviewers have not been big supporters of mine over the years, probably because I make these big populist movies and they hate it Picture Quote #1

Lazy reviewers look up other people’s reviews and they write the same thing, so you get people writing crap based on crap Picture Quote #1

Reviewers are certainly entitled to their own opinions. I’ve become buddies with enough writers and directors, and to be perfectly honest, the ones that have lasted a long time don’t pay a lot of attention to the reviews Picture Quote #1

I have to accept the fact that I was putting out records that reviewers were going to get an image from Picture Quote #1

I expect the worst both from reviewers and sales and then, with any luck, I may be proved wrong Picture Quote #1

I think reviewers are sexist... This isn’t to sound bitter, but I think you’re more likely to get a critical kicking if you’re a woman. I just think that’s a fact. I really think less value is put in general on women’s voices, across the board Picture Quote #1

In my ideal world, my next novel would have a first printing of, say, 2,500 hardcovers for reviewers, libraries, collectors, and autograph hounds. The publisher could print more copies if they get low. And simultaneously, or six weeks later, the book would be available in paperback Picture Quote #1

Don’t let anyone discourage you from writing. If you become a professional writer, there are plenty of editors, reviewers, critics, and book buyers to do that Picture Quote #1

You don’t want to dwell on your enemies, you know. I basically feel so superior to my critics for the simple reason that they haven’t done what I do. Most book reviewers haven’t written 11 novels. Many of them haven’t written one Picture Quote #1

What’s happening to movie critics is no different from what has been meted out to book, dance, theater, and fine-arts reviewers and reporters in the cultural deforestation that has driven refugees into the diffuse clatter of the Internet and Twitter, where some adapt and thrive - such as Roger Ebert - while others disappear without a twinkle Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anybody reads a book of poetry front to back. Editors and reviewers only. I don’t think anybody else does Picture Quote #1

Reviewers have called my books ‘novels in verse.’ I think of them as written in prose, but I do use stanzas. Stanza means ‘room’ in Latin, and I wanted there to be ‘room’ - breathing opportunities to receive thoughts and have time to come out of them before starting again at the left margin Picture Quote #1

I just feel I’m on a different page from the reviewers, so I’ve learned not to care about them too much Picture Quote #1

I think being a woman and writing frankly about violence has gotten me some attention, and as someone who wants people to read my books, I can’t complain about that attention, but it does puzzle me that this is something reviewers focus on Picture Quote #1

There were also some cruel reviews by women, but the tone of the male reviewers, sometimes hysterical, was different. I have suffered, but I don’t want to name names-but there have been men who have seemed to want to destroy me or my writing, men I don’t even know Picture Quote #1

I believe passionately in preemptive pessimism, especially before a book comes out. I expect the worst both from reviewers and sales, and then, with any luck, I may be proved wrong Picture Quote #1

The reviewers tear me apart. I bleed. I’m a favorite target. They go along for six months looking at movies, praying for rain, and then a new Sandra Dee movie comes out, and their eyes open, and they lick their lips. Before they’ve ever seen it Picture Quote #1

Almost any show that has reviewers behind it, Rotten Tomatoes behind it, will find a way to survive Picture Quote #1

I don’t really say much about reviewers. It’s a very tough job to get all of the depth of a movie all at once Picture Quote #1

Writers take words seriously-perhaps the last professional class that does-and they struggle to steer their own through the crosswinds of meddling editors and careless typesetters and obtuse and malevolent reviewers into the lap of the ideal reader Picture Quote #1
