I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic Picture Quote #1

And write what you love - don't feel pressured to write serious prose if what you like is to be funny Picture Quote #1

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people Picture Quote #1

I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate Picture Quote #1

What I couldn't help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I'd learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism Picture Quote #1

It's a little silly to finally learn how to write at this age. But I long ago realized I was secretly sincere Picture Quote #1

I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying; he wanted me to make up dialogue Picture Quote #1

To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves Picture Quote #1

The magazine, the daytime show, we've always tried to write affordable, accessible. Those are key words for us, and I do mean us, a huge staff of people at the magazine who love to cook affordable, friendly food that helps families eat better for less Picture Quote #1

I do 280 episodes of TV a year, write 15 recipes for the magazine, and publish an annual book. With all of that, we try to get one weekend a month with Isaboo at our home in the Adirondacks to relax and recharge Picture Quote #1

I really think that reading is just as important as writing when you're trying to be a writer. Because it's the only apprenticeship we have. It's the only way of learning how to write a story Picture Quote #1

He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise Picture Quote #1

Anybody can write a three volumed novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature Picture Quote #1

If you want to fight the evil you see in finance and industry, get to work reading the corporate filings, see if there has been fraud, and where you find it, report it to the SEC or write about it or blog about it Picture Quote #1

I'm not precisely saying that a really good board meeting at the MLA (Museums, Libraries and Archives Coucil) makes me want to go and write poetry, but there is a pleasure in doing that sort of thing well Picture Quote #1

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it Picture Quote #1

I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface; they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart Picture Quote #1

I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way Picture Quote #1

The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box Picture Quote #1

There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry Picture Quote #1

I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut Picture Quote #1

When I start to write, words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found it's first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist Picture Quote #1

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... And I keep it in a jar on my desk Picture Quote #1

That's something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals Picture Quote #1
