“And as for the critics, it is very rare that you get the reviews you want. I don’t think many interesting actors or good plays are every really ignored or dismissed, but critics see too many bad plays and always have to write in a hurry. If they are proud of their craft, they get more interested in their own writing style than what they are supposed to be writing about.”
John Gielgud (quoted in Sheridan Morley, John Gielgud: The Authorized Biography)
