If you want to be criticized, marry.
I'm hugely self-critical in the morning.
The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.
It is easier to criticize than to do better.
There is no such thing as constructive criticism. There is constructive advice, constructive guidance, constructive counsel, encouragement, suggestion, and instruction. Criticism, however, is not constructive but a destructive means of faultfinding t...
I suspect that most authors don't really want criticism, not even constructive criticism. They want straight-out, unabashed, unashamed, fulsome, informed, naked praise, arriving by the shipload every fifteen minutes or so.
Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. There are jokes I tell in the show that don't get laughs unless I am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. Put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! The gu...
I think with comedy I get very sort of critical of myself and try and do the best I can and it doesn't come as second nature. I work at those kinds of films. It doesn't mean I can't do them - I've done two now, and I have a great time doing them, but...

The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.
To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom.

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It's as simple as that.
It's difficult for one filmmaker to criticize another. That's a job best left to critics.
The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.
It's an artist's choice to listen to criticism or not. I'm very sensitive to criticism.
It is not my methodology to engage too much with critics for many reasons: - I honestly believe that my ego is not worthy of my having to defend it. There are far more important things in the ummah than me having to respond to critics. - By and large...
