How do you handle critics?

The first question I ask people about my films is never "what was your favorite part," it was always "what was your least favorite part."

Nobody is perfect. The unfortunate truth about any kind of creative field is that if you're constantly surrounded by people who think their shit doesn't stink. You gotta knock these people down before they get on the high horse, because once their on, it's real tough to get them off.

Constructive criticism is the absolute best thing a person can get in a creative field. Or any field, really. Constant pampering does nothing but bad things in the long run.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
