The only critic is a full house.
The core of a soldier is moral discipline. It is intertwined with the discipline of physical and mental achievement. It motivates doing on your own what is right without prodding.

The criminal is the creative artist; the detective only the critic.
I was never a true journalist, I was a movie critic.
Now everyone is a critic.
I am a critic who is pulled toward history. But Bob Dylan himself is a great historian. He is an historian who acts out history. So it always has a personal stamp. It always has a particular timbre. It always has a particular howl, or a moan, in that voice.
I'll probably never put out another album because I'm a tough critic of my work, and I don't think I could come up to those standards any more.
