| | Ted Allen |  | I think that curiosity happened on these reviews where I was just a guest of the reviewer, because it introduced me to new cuisines and to the idea of cooking as a mechanism for studying other cultures and understanding other parts of the world. |
| | Jenny Agutter | | I've done both theatre and film and the fact is if you start believing, if you start reading things and they're good reviews - you believe that and you're lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that's true and you read that and you're lost. |
| | Peter Benchley | | I then became a freelance writer and worked for whoever would pay the bills. I wrote movie reviews, travel pieces, freelance television work, compiled synopses of the news for newspapers... whatever I could do to earn a dollar. |
| | Suzy Bogguss | | I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out on my Web site. It kind of smacked of this flavor. All of the reviews said it was Western swing even when it was Christmas standards. |
| | Chuck Close | | Of course there are all the negative reviews, which also are incredibly important. Hilton Kramer hated the work, and if he had loved it I would have wanted to commit suicide. I still remember to this day that he called me a lunatic and he said the work is the kind of trash that washed ashore when the tide of pop art went out... and I thought, Gee, if he doesn't like what I'm doing, then I must be on the right track. |
| | Keith Emerson | | My mother had all these scrap books she kept and the reviews, I was also fortunate to have a list of every gig I've ever played in my life. |
| | William Faulkner | | The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews. |
| | David Gest | | I bought up the first two nights thinking if you can pack them the first two nights, by the time the reviews came out, she'd be able to sell tickets. |
| | John Grisham | | I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work. |
| | Werner Herzog | | I don't spend sleepless nights over getting very bad reviews. |
