“It’s dangerous to read reviews ”“ the good ones or the bad ones. I was crippled twice in my career by bad reviews, and I almost don’t read them at all anymore. The bad ones hurt your feelings, and the good ones make you forget who you really are: They swell your head and they make you think yours s– doesn’t stink. When you stoop to that, whatever you had flies right out the window and you’re just a shell. You’re nothing.” (New West: March 13, 1978)
