Pages Quotes

I take it very seriously, music. I think it’s one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue Picture Quote #1

I plot as I go. Many novelists write an outline that has almost as many pages as their ultimate book. Others knock out a brief synopsis... Do what is comfortable. If you have to plot out every move your characters make, so be it. Just make sure there is a plausible purpose behind their machinations. A good reader can smell a phony plot a block away Picture Quote #1

My writing day has grown shorter as I’ve aged, although it seems to produce the same number of pages Picture Quote #1

We came up with the notion that not all web pages are created equal. People are – but not web pages Picture Quote #1

I like the weight, look, and feel of a book. I enjoy turning the pages, and frequently scan the spines of my many books on the wall, each title a reminder of the stored information and creative thoughts contained therein Picture Quote #1

It is in the midst of the city that one writes the most inspiring pages about the country Picture Quote #1

The fact is that blank pages inspire me with terror. What will I put on them? Will it be good enough? Will I have to throw it out? Picture Quote #1

One of my rigid goals is to keep each book under 300 pages because I think so much nonfiction is literally weighty that people don’t get through these books,.. If people don’t finish your book, then they don’t know what you’re talking about Picture Quote #1

No one would have the courage to walk up to a writer and ask to look at the last few pages of his manuscript, but they feel perfectly comfortable staring over an artist’s shoulder while he is trying to paint Picture Quote #1

I think of a child’s mind as a blank book. During the first years of his life, much will be written on the pages. The quality of that writing will affect his life profoundly Picture Quote #1

Writing is agony for me. I work at it eight hours every day, hoping to get six pages, but I am satisfied with three Picture Quote #1

This morning I looked at the books on my shelves and thought that they have no knowledge of my existence. They come to life because I open them and turn their pages, and yet they don’t know that I am their reader Picture Quote #1

I always want to try to bring something fresh to every book. It’s getting harder instead of easier. I feel like I work harder with each book. But I don’t want it to show on the pages, that’s for sure Picture Quote #1

The difference between a writer who toughs it out and one who doesn’t is that you push through the parts where you know that you’ve just written seven pages when all you’re looking for is one paragraph Picture Quote #1

My experience as a writer is that you really do write seven and eight pages to find the paragraph you were after all along Picture Quote #1

I read a ton of scripts. I read a lot of scripts, and you read one, and first of all, you felt like you read it in 14 minutes, because you’re turning the pages so fast you can’t wait to see what’s going to happen Picture Quote #1

I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long. She edited out, maybe burned, every single photograph where I’m naked Picture Quote #1

I think a book that is over 400 pages should be split in two. I don’t know that there’s anything that interesting that can go on for 700 pages. I think that is a little bit indulgent Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved books. My mother told me that before I could talk, I’d babble in my crib as I turned the pages of my little cloth books, apparently telling stories to go along with the pictures Picture Quote #1

The critical first billion years, during which life began, are blank pages in the earth’s history Picture Quote #1

To write three series a year you only need to commit to writing 10 pages per day, or editing 50 pages of text per day. Plus, writing is my job, and I need to write to eat, so I’m highly motivated to get up and get to work! Picture Quote #1

The pages of your past cannot be rewritten, but the pages of your tomorrows are blank Picture Quote #1

Some people say that they read the first 20 pages, and then decide if they want to do the film or not. But, I have to read the entire thing cause anything can change in a script Picture Quote #1

In a way, my childhood was one long bunch of pages... I read and read and read Picture Quote #1

I need an hour alone before dinner, with a drink, to go over what I’ve done that day. I can’t do it late in the afternoon because I’m too close to it. Also, the drink helps. It removes me from the pages Picture Quote #1

You get attached to the way you write, and I’m attached to notebooks. That’s where I really write the plays. Just two or three pages at a time, then I transfer to the typewriter and rewrite while I type Picture Quote #1

I might be at a point where I don’t want to go with a genre convention but I have to produce some pages. It’s hard work. And it requires you learn certain skills Picture Quote #1

There are many pages in the book, many kinds of lives we each can live, many ways to be rich, and even more to be poor Picture Quote #1

More often than not, real life is so rich, complex and unpredictable that it would seem completely implausible in the pages of a novel Picture Quote #1

If you’re trying to drop ten pages from a screenplay, it hurts like hell, but if you just put it away for a month and then take it out, you can do it just like that! Picture Quote #1
