After games, my wife gives me a lot of advice and criticism. Sometimes, I am upset. I say, ‘Why do you advise me this?’ But I like it, because to listen to a different point of view is always important. You can find a different position or point of view that can help you to be more creative.
There is no, and cannot be, any situation in which we don’t respect the law and the judiciary. It is unacceptable to attack the courts; criticism is allowed, but attacks are not. It shakes the basis of our democracy.
My opinions and principles are subjects of just criticism. I put myself before the public voluntarily.
I’m always trying to improve. I think I take criticism constructively.
The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That’s my dream, to make such a German film.
Anybody is able to doubt me. I say, ‘Come with your criticism to polish the diamond of the truth.’ People need to wake up to their own power. Everybody has this nature.
It’s much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself.
The problem is most people in the world can’t take criticism.
Didn’t Lionel Richie just make a country album? No one is giving him a hard time… and God bless him – I love Lionel and should be able to do what he wants to do, like Madonna should, too. Both are having success and I applaud them. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. The ageism criticism is getting old.
Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.
Criticism, maybe cynicism, is just rampant in music, in creativity. Everybody has a perception and a set of opinions based on what that piece of music is doing to them internally.
People believe that criticism should be objective, whatever that means, but I really don’t understand what people mean by that. I guess if you’re doing sonata-allegro procedure analysis, you can be objective for a page or two. But in pop? Really hard.
I take it for what it is, and sometimes the criticism is actually useful and constructive and actually informs what I do, but most of the time, it’s sort of mindless, or they’re receiving something on a different frequency than I was sending it.
Philosophers, as things now stand, are all too fond of offering criticism from on high instead of studying and understanding things from within.
Obviously, I agree with Trump on many of his criticisms of the mainstream media. You can absolutely argue that their failure to report honestly, to get outraged before we could, and to collude with the Clinton campaign directly led to the rise of Trump.
Perhaps the most pernicious strain of contemporary criticism says one thing before it says anything else, says it to whatever historical event or cultural happenstance is supposedly at issue: ‘You can’t fool me.’
Criticism in the universities, I’ll have to admit, has entered a phase where I am totally out of sympathy with 95% of what goes on. It’s Stalinism without Stalin.
If they want to criticize me, I don’t care; I don’t mind. But they must criticize me fairly. Usually, the criticism is not fair. Or the praise, even the praise sometimes is not fair.
The biggest criticism would be buying clothes that are too big or trying too hard. I tend to like things a little leaner and more formfitting. I believe personal style often outweighs fashion. Just be yourself.
Valid criticism is something that we are open for, and we take it in the spirit in which it is given and try to improve ourselves.
Indians take great pleasure in celebrating a genius, and then go into mindless criticism once the celebrity starts doing well.
I’m not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
I don’t even really know what it is I do for a living – the level of insecurity is very, very high. You’re making a lot of money, getting a lot of accolades and positive criticism for something where you don’t even know what you’re doing.
I’ve read some criticism of ‘The Good Doctor’ that says it’s overly sweet and syrupy. I’ll take that criticism, given the world that we live in. I’d much rather be on that side of the equation than the opposite.
Critics can be your most important friend. I don’t read criticism of my stuff only because when it’s bad, it’s rough-and when it’s good, it’s not good enough.
Political criticism is our enemies’ best friend.
Most criticism of advertising is written in ignorance of what actually happens inside these agencies.
I’ve written 18 books, mostly dealing with issues of social justice, ending racism, feminism, and cultural criticism.
I don’t shy away from any questions. I’m not scared of any question. I’ll give you an answer. A lot of people are scared of having actual opinions out there. People are so scared of criticism… I’m not scared of people disliking me.
If you have lost matches and not played to potential, criticism will come your way. Critics and media will say what they see and take you on. They will say things which you might not like to hear. But that’s professional sport.
Criticism is fine and conversation is fine, but the person who’s criticizing should know what they’re saying and whom they’re criticizing.
My faith was eventually what helped me face myself, tell the truth about everything I had done, face criticism, cope with guilt, pain, and grow from all of it.
I was not used to criticism.
We can do things the cheap way, the simple way, for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or, we can make the extra effort, do the hard work, absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future.
The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.
If a thing seems to you worth working for at all, if it appears to you of moment enough to challenge any effort, then put into what you do all the enthusiasm of which you are capable, regardless of criticism.
I have found myself under a wave of investigation and criticism from the moment I was elected. Since my first days in the Prime Minister’s Office I have had to fight against evil attacks while I have been busy making decisions on crucial matters related to Israel’s security and existence.
One of the most common criticisms of romance is that the genre is too prescribed: If every romance novel ends happily ever after, don’t the stories lack complexity? Don’t the readers get bored?
I’m always very careful to make the distinction between music criticism and music journalism. A lot of people don’t. But criticism doesn’t require reporting. You can write criticism at home in your underwear. On the other hand, journalism takes legwork – you have to get out there and see things and talk to people.
I’m a big boy; I can handle criticism.
When ideas are young and vulnerable, criticism can be lethal.

When people criticise you, you’ve got to listen to that criticism, and to learn from it, which I’ve tried to do.
My mom is an actress, but she never really pushed me into it, and it was never something I thought I would be doing. She was very happy I decided to, but she certainly doesn’t offer me criticism because she knows I’d tell her to shut up! Nobody wants to hear that from their mum!

Twitter has stopped being a place where I could learn things I didn’t know, glean information that was free from errors about a breaking news story or engage in a discussion and be reasonably confident that people’s criticisms were in good faith.
Any child actor will tell you that you don’t have a lot of the tools or the experience to combat a lot of the criticism or very adult situations being thrown at you.
A common criticism of establishment journalists entails comparing them to stenographers, on the ground that most of them do little more than mindlessly write down and uncritically repeat what government officials say.
I think there are different ways of being rigorous, and I am asking people to be as rigorous in their pleasure as in their criticism.
We are committed to a continuous engagement with our people to explain government policies, receive advice and criticism.
Especially when you’re at a high level in an organization, criticism can be devastating to an employee. I prefer to praise employees for what they’re doing right, and it tends to lead to them doing more of the same. Not always, but it’s the way I choose to bet.
I’ve read some pretty harsh criticisms of my music, but some of them I agreed with and actually sat with me.
Usually, English personalities are difficult; they don’t take criticism easily.
Because I’m a former critic, I view criticism differently than most do. I can take criticism, but if you’re going to eviscerate us, be specific.
I’ve had trouble with criticism, I guess. It’s hard to know what role criticism plays in either encouraging poets or in getting other people to read them.
