Criticism Quotes
-
People are more interested in reading bombastic ideas, whether they're positive or negative. Part of me has sort of lost interest in doing criticism because of that. I've always realized that criticism is basically autobiography. Obviously in my criticism, it's very clear that it's autobiography, but I think it's that way for everybody.

Do not let yourself get in your own way. Don't judge yourself and knock yourself down. There is enough of that out there already.
