But Murphy is well aware that his work divides opinion, and he\u2019s got a pretty straightforward response to those who don\u2019t rate it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Ryan Murphy isn\u2019t bothered by the critics anymore<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a new interview with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/story\/ryan-murphy-interview-new-establishment\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vanity Fair<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Murphy was asked how much he really cares, to which he replied, \u201cFirst of all, I think the critics are wrong. If you look at my career since I started, which was Popular, almost everything that I have made was never embraced critically.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI always was astounded by that because I was like, Wait a minute!
