Page Quotes

When people go to a web page, the thing that they want more than anything else is instant clarity Picture Quote #1

I don’t even subscribe to writer’s block being a truthful thing. I’ve had writer’s laziness quite often. But I think it’s all about sitting down and facing down the blank page and doing it, and I’ve always been ok at that Picture Quote #1

You can’t fix a bad script after you start shooting. The problems on the page only get bigger as they move to the big screen Picture Quote #1

A lot of the girls my age were impressed by silly stuff like money and fame. I wanted to be able to have intellectual and spiritual conversations with someone who was on the same page as me Picture Quote #1

There is a direct parallel in the way that we speak, with natural variations of pitch and volume that give full meaning to our words. This is what is missing in the words on the page of a book, and the notes on the score Picture Quote #1

Most of us have collections of sayings we live by... Whenever words fly up at me from the printed page as I read, I intercept them instantly, knowing they are for me. I turn them over carefully in my mind and cling to them hard Picture Quote #1

The whole problem with news on television comes down to this: all the words uttered in an hour of news coverage could be printed on a page of a newspaper. And the world cannot be understood in one page Picture Quote #1

A blank page of paper and a pen is the greatest invention its so exciting to be confronted by possibility Picture Quote #1

Well, I’m a slow writer. For me, a good day is a page, maybe a page and a half. I’d love to be more efficient, but I am not Picture Quote #1

Blues, rock and hip hop are more about a lifestyle and culture than notes on a page Picture Quote #1

Actually, who hasn’t been through the ghastly experience of sitting in front of a blank page, with its toothless mouth grinning at you: Go ahead, let’s see you lay a finger on me? A blank page is actually a whitewashed wall with no door and no window. Beginning to tell a story is like making a pass at a total stranger in a restaurant Picture Quote #1

If somebody is not on the same page with me humor wise, I can’t give them that Picture Quote #1

Accident is as much a part of fiction as anything else, symbolic of the grace that, along with will, conspires to put words on the page Picture Quote #1

I’m not asking a poem to carry a lot of rocks in its pockets. Just being an ordinary observer and liver and feeler and letting the experience get through you onto the notebook with the pen, through the arm, out of the body, onto the page, without distortion Picture Quote #1

There should be a period of time during each practice session when you perform. Invite some friends in to your practice room and play a passage or a page of something... What I’m trying to indicate is that each day should contain some amount of performing. You should engage in the deliberate act of story telling each day you practice. Don’t only gather information when you practice, spend time imparting it. This is important Picture Quote #1

Revision is the heart of writing. Every page I do is done over seven or eight times Picture Quote #1

When I sit down with my notebook, when I start scribbling words across the page, I find out what I’m feeling Picture Quote #1

You shall see them on a beautiful quarto page where a neat rivulet of text shall meander through a meadow of margin Picture Quote #1

One mistake with beginners in writing is, that they think it important to spin out something long. It is a great deal better not to write more than a page or two, unless you have something to say, and can write it correctly Picture Quote #1

Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the characters develop almost without your knowing it. You find them doing things you hadn’t planned on, and then I have to go back to page 42 and fix things. I’m not recommending it as a way to write. It’s very sloppy, but it works for me Picture Quote #1

The video maker doesn’t easily face a blank page. Because the videomaker can run it either any way, this way or the other way and erase it if they don’t like it and so on Picture Quote #1

For me, writing never gets easier. It’s always hard work. It doesn’t matter how many words you wrote the day before, or how many novels you’ve completed in the last decade: every day you start fresh again with that same blank page, or that same blank screen Picture Quote #1

Instapaper does support paywall sites. I have a list of them, that when someone saves something it sends a copy of the page as they are viewing it only to them. If you subscribe to a paid site, you can save the content. I’m not really touching the money Picture Quote #1

It’s very difficult sometimes having bands, you know, when all the members aren’t on the same page Picture Quote #1

In real life, people fumble their words. They repeat themselves and stare blankly off into space and don’t listen properly to what other people are saying. I find that kind of speech fascinating but screenwriters never write dialogue like that because it doesn’t look good on the page Picture Quote #1

Even now I try to make each page compelling for the readers to get absorbed in the book Picture Quote #1

I feel I do my best work when it’s all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I’m not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don’t entirely trust what I’m doing Picture Quote #1

Here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page Picture Quote #1

I will say that comic books are not the easiest things to translate to film, number one. Even the most well meaning of filmmakers find what’s acceptable on the printed page is very difficult to bring to film Picture Quote #1
