Read Quotes

I can tell you that as a writer and as a reader, I regard character as king. Or queen. No matter how riveting the action or interesting the plot twists, if I don’t feel like I’m meeting someone who feels real, I’m not going to be compelled to read further Picture Quote #1

I think there are just a million interviews in anthologies with famous musicians that are about the music, and they’re really boring to read Picture Quote #1

As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn’t make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists Picture Quote #1

I have a certain sensibility that I bring to my writing that comes from knowing two things: what I as a reader like to read, and what as a writer I am capable of. I know my own limits. I know there are things I cannot do Picture Quote #1

I read every screenplay that was being sent to the other directors. None were being sent to me, but I was reading what others were choosing and what the best writers were writing Picture Quote #1

I’m a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees. I’ve been to the tropics every year since I could afford it. It’s the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga Picture Quote #1

And I haven’t read a lot of blogs but if someone writes about what they care about I’m sure it’s interesting Picture Quote #1

If I read a script and find it engaging and I start making choices in my mind on how to approach the work, than that’s a good indication that it is something worth pursuing Picture Quote #1

I like to be with my friends and my family, listen to music and read books. Things like that relax me Picture Quote #1

You can go to the pictures or read a book, but football constantly comes back into your mind. It’s not a job, it’s a life. It takes up your time, thoughts and energy and it can damage relationships with those around you Picture Quote #1

When I read a script, I have to see the funny, and if I can see it’s funny, it helps me to be able to transmit that Picture Quote #1

A reader does not suddenly comprehend what is being read or studied, in a snap, miraculously. Comprehension needs to be worked forged, by those who read and study; as subjects of the action, they must seek to employ appropriate instruments in order to carry out the task. For this very reason, reading and studying form a challenging task, one requiring patience and perseverance Picture Quote #1

We see in meditation that our experiences are endless, that we are endless, eternal spirit, not as a thought or an idea you read in a book. You have the experience yourself, every day Picture Quote #1

I always begin at the left with the opening word of the sentence and read toward the right and I recommend this method Picture Quote #1

I’m not terribly conversant with children’s literature in general. I tend to read books for adults, being an adult Picture Quote #1

Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids. That is, kids at that pivotal age, 12, 13 or 14, they’re still deeply affected by what they read, some are changed by what they read, books can change the way they feel about the world in general. I don’t think that’s true of adults as much Picture Quote #1

I don’t read young adult or children’s books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I’m aware of what’s out there. But I tend not to read the books Picture Quote #1

I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11 and 14 now. That’s the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself; we’d gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn’t bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today Picture Quote #1

I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I’ve known. And I’m not a great comic reader Picture Quote #1

It’s rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author; usually only one Picture Quote #1

I learned very early on in life that not everyone wants to hear every fact in the world, even if you want to tell them everything you’ve ever read Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of comic books and any kind of thing I could find. One day, a teacher found me. She grabbed my comic book and tore it up. I was really upset, but then she brought in a pile of books from her own library. That was the best thing that ever happened to me Picture Quote #1

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I’ve read as an actor, and I’m a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact Picture Quote #1

Personally I don’t like it when writers become excessively proscriptive about the way that people read their books Picture Quote #1

Books aren’t just my defenses, the sandbags I use to fortify my position; they are also the building blocks of my soul, and I am the sum of all I read Picture Quote #1

I’m very confident. Even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight Picture Quote #1

In my view, the plangent artificiality of a lot of creative work results from the fact that the people who write novels, direct films and put on plays tend to read too many novels, watch too many films and go to too many plays Picture Quote #1
