Critics Quotes
I don’t know why jazz critics don’t like contemporary jazz. I think a lot of them feel that straightahead jazz has to be championed by them. And I think there’s resentment involved that the kind of music I’m playing will sell more, and has more radio play.
Boney James
If film critics could destroy a movie, Michael Bay and Adam Sandler would be working at Starbucks. If film critics could make a movie a hit, the Dardenne brothers would be courted by every studio in town.
Alonso Duralde
In truth, even if they have an imperfect insight into their own methods, I still slightly mistrust writers of fiction who are assured literary critics; it makes me suspect that they favour the word over the world it should describe. Such scribes fall victim too easily to the solecism of equating style with morality.

Wilson Mizner
I'm my biggest critic. I want there to be no flaws when you hear it. When I think that maybe it's ready, I just hop in my car it's gotta have some bump - and go to corner stores, youngsters on the block, play it for anyone. If they get into it, I get a reaction, the song passes the hyphy test. If it's just cool, we throw it away; it's not going on the record. But if it makes you wanna move - seriously - if it makes you react the same way I felt, then it passes.
Keak da Sneak
A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.
Adam Sandler
If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.
Mariah Carey
I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.
Jon Bon Jovi
Often President Obama's worst critics are Senator Obama and candidate Obama.
Peter Schiff
Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
Billy Joel
You know, I really don't think you learn from teachers. You learn from work. I think what you learn, really, is how to be- you have to be your own toughest critic, and you only learn that from work, from seeing work.
Garry Winogrand
