I encourage writers to not look at their reviews

"I encourage writers to not look at their reviews, and I usually don't." (artist)

It is very self-centered

"Making music and being an artist in any way, really, stems from an essentially self-centered place.  Some people will say that they make music or art to give something to the world, to share it with people, because they think people need to hear it.  I think most of that is bullshit.  You create things because they come from a place that is purely you.  It is very self-centered, which is not a bad thing—it is just the nature of creativity."
