Writer Quotes

I want to be a writer you can always depend on for a good read during your vacation, during your flight, during a time in your life when you want to forget the world around you Picture Quote #1

It’s not at all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one.

If I do that well, I feel, good tidings generally will follow and readers will stick with me Picture Quote #1

I get really excited if I think I’m going to introduce somebody to a writer they haven’t found before and I think they’ll love. My favorite books to get as gifts are any that the giver is messianic about Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a writer since I was in high school, but I never thought it was possible Picture Quote #1

I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who’s having a hard time. I believe this ability to see another’s viewpoint has served me well as a writer Picture Quote #1

The thing about being a mystery writer, what marks a mystery writer out from a chick lit author or historical fiction writer, is that you always find a mystery in every situation Picture Quote #1

In a movie, you have to be mindful that no budget is going to be able to deal with running around the globe at every whim of the writer Picture Quote #1

My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer Picture Quote #1

My father always told me I should be a writer, and I found I loved writing my autobiography; writing is such an interesting process Picture Quote #1

When people used to call me a political writer, it was kind of confusing because I was always much more interested in the social end of things which hinges on the political, but it isn’t really part of it Picture Quote #1

What has always been at the heart of film making was the value of a script. It was really the writer who could make or break a film. But as we all know, the writer has always been at the bottom of the creative heap Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a professional writer for 20 years, and there are contours in that time, crescents and troughs Picture Quote #1

No book that is written for an external purpose is going to be a passionately felt book for the writer or the reader. I don’t see the point in doing that Picture Quote #1

The writer creates the role on the page and then the actor takes it and makes it their own Picture Quote #1

I never studied writing, but I’d always been a reader and had a secret fantasy about being a writer Picture Quote #1

I was very precocious when I was young. I went to college at 16, and I graduated at 20. I wanted to be a writer, but I was more interested in experience than in applying myself intellectually Picture Quote #1

It’s really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I’m every character Picture Quote #1

When I see things in the world that leap out at me, I want to make use of them in fiction. Maybe every writer does that. It just depends on what you claim or appropriate as yours Picture Quote #1

I don’t know anyone who is a writer who isn’t influenced by the relationships in their life Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a writer who photographs. Images, for me, can be considered poems, short stories or essays. And I’ve always thought the best place for my photographs was inside books of my own creation Picture Quote #1

As an artist, as an actor, as a writer, you have to use what’s personal to you. You have to be personal about your work; otherwise, it doesn’t ring true Picture Quote #1

I think it’s really the job of the composer, the artist, the painter, the writer to present people with options. I’m just really reflecting the thoughts and actions around me Picture Quote #1

It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader. If you do not believe in the characters or the story you are doing at that moment with all your mind, strength, and will, if you don’t feel joy and excitement while writing it, then you’re wasting good white paper, even if it sells, because there are other ways in which a writer can bring in the rent money besides writing bad or phony stories Picture Quote #1

I’m a humor writer, so I don’t always present myself in the best light Picture Quote #1

As far as what I do, my value as a writer is certainly not to try to recapitulate a 19th century form. Certain styles of narrative don’t conform to my style of experiencing the world Picture Quote #1

I feel like reading really defined me as a writer because I lived my life outside of my own body for so much of my life and I loved it. I’ve always been a reader. I think living all those stories served me to naturally take that next step to creating Picture Quote #1

I never even dreamt of being a writer because I didn’t feel allowed. When I was a child I was terribly ambitious, but I didn’t know at all what this great thing would become Picture Quote #1
