Writer Quotes

As a writer, as a creator, I’m giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain’t got to pry beyond that Picture Quote #1

Being taken seriously, for a young writer, is a wonderful form of encouragement, but at the same time, I don’t think one should ever feel like attempting a kind of artistic endeavor is beyond your scope just because of age or inexperience Picture Quote #1

A good journalist, as you know, is a great listener. And so’s a good writer. And I got to listen to people for almost 20 years. That serves me well, I hope, when I try to understand how a character might be feeling, or how they might react Picture Quote #1

I haven’t always been a writer and I suppose I tiptoed around the idea of writing full time, because it’s so isolating Picture Quote #1

To present a scientific subject in an attractive and stimulating manner is an artistic task, similar to that of a novelist or even a dramatic writer. The same holds for writing textbooks Picture Quote #1

I think every fiction writer, to a certain extent, is a schizophrenic and able to have two or three or five voices in his or her body. We seek, through our profession, to get those voices onto paper Picture Quote #1

I’ve been accused of being a minimalist writer. I don’t like a lot of verbiage in there Picture Quote #1

I’m blessed in my good friends, and some of them happen to be writers, though that’s almost never what our friendships are about. And every writer I’ve ever read, living or dead, has in one way or another helped and inspired. I have a feeling it’s important not to mix the two up Picture Quote #1

I am a writer who works from an outline. What I generally do when I build an outline is I find focal, important scenes, and I build them in my head and I don’t write them yet, but I build towards them Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a model, I was an actress for like a minute, but I’ve always been a writer. That’s where I’m going to stay Picture Quote #1

I thought I was a pretty good writer, but I didn’t have anything to write about. I wanted to go out in the world, have some adventures and then write about them Picture Quote #1

As a writer I’ve learned certain lessons. One of them is to be careful about how you put a view, and to bear in mind how easily and readily you’ll be misinterpreted Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I have readers who will have a range of political views. I don’t think they look to me for political guidance Picture Quote #1

As a writer, you have to realize that people want to like the characters, so you have to be careful to keep them involved Picture Quote #1

I am primarily a writer of books, and I enjoy that. But I come to realize that a lot of people prefer a visual medium Picture Quote #1

The meaning... of a writer will be found not just in what he intends to say, or what he does literally say, but in the effect of his writing on living beings Picture Quote #1

If you get bored with nothing to do, you are not a writer... We are in the business of reproducing reality from nothing. We are the biggest liars in the world, seeking truth Picture Quote #1

And I do think that great fiction, even when it’s comedic, has an urgency or an inevitability to it, a sense that the writer absolutely had to write this particular story in this way Picture Quote #1

In the life of a real writer, nothing is ever lost, no word you write is a waste of your time or energy Picture Quote #1

Hell man, I know very well you didn’t come to me only to want to become a writer, and after all what do I really know about it except that you’ve got to stick to it with the energy of a benny addict Picture Quote #1

In creation myths, a God shapes mud or clay into living form, much like a potter throws a pot or a sculptor reveals the statue within a block of marble. But a writer has to create his own clay or stone before he can begin shaping life from it Picture Quote #1

Perfecting and selling your writing is a lifelong task. If you are a persistent writer, you can expect your abilities to improve with time. Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm Picture Quote #1

I think a writer is not an ideal husband... Writers tend to get off into their own heads and not notice the people that they’re living with, or they get irritable with the people that they’re living with when the people insist on being noticed Picture Quote #1

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 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 try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else Picture Quote #1

The truth is, everything ultimately comes down to the relationship between the reader and the writer and the characters. Does or does not a character address moral being in a universal and important way? If it does, then it’s literature Picture Quote #1

As a writer, as much as I try, I can’t stop writing female characters. They have so much more to offer; they have to wear so many different hats. There’s so much wonderful gray matter in a female’s life that it just makes for a stronger character Picture Quote #1

Music is just a really fun hobby that I do, because I’m actually really good about writing songs and producing. People don’t realize this, but I am an excellent writer for artists Picture Quote #1

For a writer, they say write what you know. As a performer, you find it in yourself, in your heart. You relate to the character. You try to live it, try to have it be real for you Picture Quote #1
