Reviews Quotes

The lasting and ultimately most important reputation of a film is not based on reviews, but on what, if anything, people say about it over the years, and on how much affection for it they have Picture Quote #1

Ultimately one has to pity these poor souls who know every secret about writing, directing, designing, producing, and acting but are stuck in those miserable day jobs writing reviews. Will somebody help them, please? Picture Quote #1

I don’t read reviews or interviews or anything, just because I’m afraid; If I believed the good, then I’d believe the bad, and there will be bad Picture Quote #1

At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success Picture Quote #1

If nobody talks about books, if they are not discussed or somehow contended with, literature ceases to be a conversation, ceases to be dynamic. Most of all, it ceases to be intimate. It degenerates into a monologue or a mutter. An unreviewed book is a struck bell that gives no resonance. Without reviews, literature would be oddly mute in spite of all those words on all those pages of all those books. Reviewing makes of reading a participant sport, not a spectator sport Picture Quote #1

Their notion of training was to march the men up and down in parades and reviews: these were nice to look at and gave them the impression of military discipline and precision, but as a preparation for a modern war they had no value whatsoever Picture Quote #1

My dad thought I’d end up in the poorhouse or in doughnut shops with a bag full of reviews Picture Quote #1

The stories of wine lords who trade wine on intimidation or food critics who trade free meals for reviews those are the stories of my life. I am telling the stories of my life in a true way Picture Quote #1

Do the thing itself. Don’t pay much mind to critics or what anyone says about it. Just do it, in any form possible, and watch others doing it. Take it in viscerally, get it by osmosis. Don’t ever read your own reviews, certainly not the good ones Picture Quote #1

Your greatest creation is your creative life. It’s all in your hands. Rejection can’t take it away; reviews can’t take it away. The life you create for yourself as an artist, may be the only thing that’s really yours. Create a life you can center yourself in calmly as you wait for your work to grow Picture Quote #1

If you have too good a time writing hostile reviews, you’ll injure not only your sensibility but your soul Picture Quote #1

I don’t read reviews and I don’t know what to do with opinions, so I just lose them. They take up space, they become a process of manufacturing a persona, which I want to avoid Picture Quote #1

I think, in general, it’s better not to respond to reviews of your work Picture Quote #1

With all of my films if I get one bad review and a bunch of good reviews the bad one is the only one that will stay with me, which really sucks! Picture Quote #1

I found out about reviews early on. They’re mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That’s probably why I’m less angry than some writers, who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review, even a thoughtful one, as major treason Picture Quote #1

Having your book edited is like watching your cat being operated on. It’s uncomfortable and someone is probably going to get hurt. Most likely the cat. But in the end, things work out for the best and your cat is better it. And then your cat gets released in hardcover, and you have to read all of his reviews Picture Quote #1

I don’t read young adult or children’s books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I’m aware of what’s out there. But I tend not to read the books Picture Quote #1

I have not given much credence to reviews of my films. Sometimes they’re wrong, but it didn’t matter to me Picture Quote #1

Once you begin reviewing judgment calls, which in basketball there are many, you put yourself on a very slippery slope in terms of what could be reviewed, and ultimately the number of reviews that could take place that would make it unwieldy Picture Quote #1

The critics have been writing me off for 20 years. That’s nothing new. As far as I know I still have plenty of fans and sell lots of records. Do I care what critics say about me? No, and I don’t read reviews Picture Quote #1

For me an unfavorable initial reaction happens fairly often. For some reason the more time that elapses after the film opens, the more favorable the reviews become Picture Quote #1

The authors of book reviews would consider themselves dishonored were they to mention, as they should, the subject of the book Picture Quote #1

What with the reviews of critics, the sarcasms of one’s friends, the reproaches of one’s own taste, there’s precious little peace after publishing a book Picture Quote #1

Probably writers should forget what it was like to write the last novel, and the one before that, and the one before that, or we should all be plumbers. It must be good to be a plumber. Everyone is happy to see you, and no one reviews your work Picture Quote #1

I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can’t always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too Picture Quote #1

I don’t usually read reviews. I usually read the interviews, just because I figure it’s a good way to try to do them better if I ever have to do them again Picture Quote #1

I love my job, and I love books. I read anything, including cereal boxes. I care deeply about what people think of my books, and I memorize my reviews. I love to hear from my readers Picture Quote #1

To me, I read good reviews in lots of papers and bad reviews in lots of papers Picture Quote #1

I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people’s movies Picture Quote #1

I don’t watch dailies. I don’t pretend not to read reviews, I just don’t. I wait for it to come on the air, just like everybody else Picture Quote #1
