Text Quotes
My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale, New York, society woman, best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book ‘Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers’ - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford’s wire hangers look like pool noodles. (Author Quotes)
I believe in God, I just give him more credit than being a single parent and an author (Author Quotes)
For me the really cool parts of being an author don’t have anything to do with getting onto a bestseller list. (Author Quotes)
It’s one of the things I love most about being an author - seeing the different covers from each country. (Author Quotes)
A cookbook is not like being an author. It’s writing down recipes; it’s not writing. (Author Quotes)
I don’t think about being famous, really. Being an author, I don’t generally get stopped as I walk down the street. It’s not like being a movie star. (Author Quotes)
Adapting a novel is not really about being faithful to every word and every moment the author has created. It’s more about that same story being filtered through somebody else’s sensibility. (Author Quotes)
Being an author is fun. It’s a great job, because I can stay up as late as I want, and if I feel like taking the day off, I do it. Plus, I get to make up silly stories and draw pictures all day. (Author Quotes)
I decided to become an author when my grandmother taught me to write, when I was six. I can still recall the sensation of being able to turn words into stories. It was a miracle. (Author Quotes)
I feel lucky I didn’t become that newspaper cartoonist I wanted to be because in the U.S. so many newspapers have suffered circulation declines, and some have folded. What’s fun about being an author is I reach a much bigger audience, and there is something special about launching a book you’ve penned. (Author Quotes)
Author says he suffered from both a craving to be famous and a horror of being known to like being known. (Author Quotes)
It’s hard because people often don’t recognise shyness; they think it’s just someone being rude. I have had to work to overcome that, especially if I’m meeting my readers at author events, because I don’t want them to think I’m snooty or rude. (Author Quotes)
The grand surprise has really been the fact that being an author, which to me had always implied being a private person, actually requires you to be a public person as well, and those are two separate entities to me. (Author Quotes)
It’s wonderful being an author and having so many kids enjoying my books. That’s always been my dream job, and I feel very lucky to be able to do it. (Author Quotes)
That’s the most terrible thing about being an author - standing there at your mother’s funeral, but you don’t switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill. Who was it said - one of the famous lady novelists - ‘unhappy is the family that contains an author’? (Author Quotes)
Hating a book is not unlike hating a person; in fact it’s tempting to just go ahead and hate the author personally, by proxy, qua human being, except that I know that would be a mistake. (Author Quotes)
When I was in my teens, I was very, very keen on being the author of a book. What the book was was secondary. I wanted it to be in hardback. I didn’t care how thick or thin it was, and I didn’t actually care what it was about. (Author Quotes)
My typical morning involves some time on the treadmill, but obviously I skip that a lot. Mostly, I wake up, check my email, then get to work on the various interviews and questions and phone calls that come with being an author. (Author Quotes)
Will we listen to Satan, the author of all lies . . . ? Or are we going to believe a loving Heavenly Father, who is the source of all truth and righteousness? (Author Quotes)
When I was a young artist, I liked and was interested in belonging to the mainstream comics group. I didn’t introduce myself as an author, but only as a designer. (Author Quotes)
The best advice I can give to any aspiring author is to write every single day. Work at the craft of writing. Take it seriously. (Author Quotes)
I feel like the Church should have the most amazing entertainment and the best music, because we know the author and the source of music and entertainment, which is our Father. (Author Quotes)
I hadn’t been in proper school in three years. My parents were my two best friends. My third best friend was an author who did not know I existed. (Author Quotes)
Music is mere tuning a song with words; to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God’s blank checks and you’re actually co-creating. You’re certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you’re embarking on an endeavor, you’re using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space. (Author Quotes)
The Prince’s blunt candor has been a scandal for 500 years. The book was placed on the Papal Index of banned books in 1559, and its author was denounced on the Elizabethan stages of London as the ‘Evil Machiavel.’ The outrage has not dimmed with time. (Author Quotes)
The problem is that in order to publish a book in mainland China, you have to agree to be subject to censorship. That’s the nature of the system. I don’t challenge that system on its face. It’s their system. But as an author, I have a choice to make whether I’ll participate or I won’t. (Author Quotes)
It’s really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I’m every character. (Author Quotes)
I’ve never been a collector - just a consumer - and these days unless a book is signed to me by another author, I don’t normally have any qualms about passing it to a friend or donating it to the library. (Author Quotes)
The best critics do not worry about what the author might think. That would be like a detective worrying about what a suspect might think. Instead, they treat the reader as an intelligent friend, and describe the book as honestly, and as entertainingly, as possible. (Author Quotes)
I’m obsessive. That’s the word for me. I obsess - perhaps to the point where it’s moderately dysfunctional. I tend to put a book through about 100 revisions. If anything, that’s an understatement. If there’s another author out there who does this sort of revision, I would really like to meet him. Maybe we could form some sort of support group. (Author Quotes)
