“You find very few critics who approach their job with a combination of information and enthusiasm and humility that makes for a good critic. But there is nothing wrong with critics as long as people don't pay any attention to them. I mean, nobody wants to put them out of a job and a good critic is not necessarily a dead critic. It's just that people take what a critic says as a fact rather than an opinion, and you have to know whether the opinion of the critic is informed or uninformed, intelligent of stupid -- but most people don't take the trouble.” PeopleKnowsWantMeanLongFactsJobsPayAttentionOpinionTroubleStupidInformationHumilityApproachCriticismIntelligentCriticsEnthusiasmCombinationUninformed Book:Conversations with Edward Albee Source: Conversations with Edward Albee
