The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

Part of my job as a food writer is to describe food. So my work on 'Top Chef ' I feel is an extension of that. When we give a criticism to the contestant we want to make sure we tell them why it's not working and why it would work if they did it a different way.

Action and faith enslave thought both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection criticism and doubt.

Dramatic experience is not logical it may be subdued to the kind of coherence that we indicate when we speak in criticism of form.

I think women don't grow up with the harsh world of criticism that men grow up with we are more sensitively treated and when you first experience the world of film-making you have to develop a very tough skin.

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and by analogy our own experience - more rather than less real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is even that it is what it is rather than to show what it means.

I have never found in a long experience of politics that criticism is ever inhibited by ignorance.

Dodi got a lot of criticism when he began dating Princess Diana. No one seemed to think he was good enough for her.

But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews you have to give value to the criticism.
