Writer Quotes

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that’s kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing Picture Quote #1

Has the painter not always gone to an art school, or at least to an established master, for instruction? And the composer, the sculptor, the architect? Then why not the writer? Good poets, like good hybrid corn, are both born and made Picture Quote #1

I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense Picture Quote #1

Being a writer can be isolating. It’s good to be among readers and booksellers Picture Quote #1

How often have I met and disliked writers whose books I love; and conversely, hated the books and then wound up liking the writer? Too often Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I am constantly aware that I take my life in my hands with everything I do and say. It’s just a fact of life. For me it always has been Picture Quote #1

You don’t ever want to go out there and not be the best. You want to be the best cop that you can. Be the best writer you can be. Everybody has their goals. Everybody has their dreams Picture Quote #1

It implies a slight failure as a writer that you are reduced to being a ghostwriter for the money Picture Quote #1

My greatest regret as a writer is that I’ve never been able to include as many jokes as I’d like Picture Quote #1

You have a strange relationship with calamity when you’re a writer: you write about it; as an artist, you objectify and fetishize it. You render life into material, and that’s a creepy thing to do Picture Quote #1

I’m not the fastest writer. I can’t just crank out ideas that are good enough Picture Quote #1

The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in writer’s block or waiting for inspiration. If you’re a writer, you sit down and write Picture Quote #1

As a writer, you owe it to yourself not to get stuck in a rut of looking at the world in a certain way Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a realistic writer, not a creator of soap opera or melodrama Picture Quote #1

They say that every writer, they write about himself, and I think that to a certain extent that is true. But also we are creators of fiction Picture Quote #1

One of the things you do as a writer and as a filmmaker is grasp for resonant symbols and imagery without necessarily fully understanding it yourself Picture Quote #1

The best writing is not about the writer, the best writing is absolutely not about the writer, it’s about us, it’s about the reader Picture Quote #1

I feel much more comfortable as a writer than an actor. I feel like I am a much better writer than I am an actor Picture Quote #1

I really consider myself a writer, and a writer who is sometimes a social critic. I’m not an ideologue, I don’t join a party. I follow along and take notes. Sometimes I throw in my two cents Picture Quote #1

I think with pictures; I’m a very lousy writer. If I write without pictures, I become this pathetic chick sitting somewhere trying to be interesting Picture Quote #1

I’m a very lucky man. It’s a beautiful thing for a writer, to see people allowing your words to enter their own unconscious and their souls Picture Quote #1

People don’t really know themselves until they’re 30. Like most people nowadays, I went to university, got a degree and wandered for a bit. I trained to be a chartered accountant, which I didn’t much enjoy, and it was only slowly that the idea of becoming a creative writer gelled Picture Quote #1

Most of my success, I feel, comes from being a good editor as opposed to a great writer Picture Quote #1

The job of the writer is to take a close and uncomfortable look at the world they inhabit, the world we all inhabit, and the job of the novel is to make the corpse stink Picture Quote #1

I was starting to wonder if I was ready to be a writer, not someone who won prizes, got published and was given the time and space to work, but someone who wrote as a course of life. Maybe writing wouldn’t have any rewards. Maybe the salvation I would gain through work would only be emotional and intellectual. Wouldn’t that be enough, to be a waitress who found an hour or two hidden in every day to write? Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I need an enormous amount of time alone. Writing is 90 percent procrastination: reading magazines, eating cereal out of the box, watching infomercials. It’s a matter of doing everything you can to avoid writing, until it is about four in the morning and you reach the point where you have to write. Having anybody watching that or attempting to share it with me would be grisly Picture Quote #1

To me, a writer is one of the most important soldiers in the fight for survival of the human race. He must stay at his post in the thick of fire to serve the cause of mankind Picture Quote #1

If I were a first rate writer, I wouldn’t mind a bit. What does depress me is this: it is so desperately hard and so obsessive and so lonely to write that, in return for all this work, one would like a little self satisfaction. And that is never going to come, for the simple reason that I do not deserve it. I cannot be a good enough writer. You see? I call it grim. But the future looks awfully clear to me Picture Quote #1
