Text Quotes
If I'm not writing well, I'm not happy. If I'm not spending enough time with my family, I'm not happy. If I'm not connecting to friends or if I don't work out enough. You get the point. Everything has to be balanced. Nothing should be an extreme  (Writing Quotes) I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd  (Writing Quotes) When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies  (Writing Quotes) I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information  (Writing Quotes) But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things, usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find  (Writing Quotes) You have an absolute freedom in Mexican writing today in which you don't necessarily have to deal with the Mexican identity. You know why? Because we have an identity. We know who we are. We know what it means to be a Mexican  (Writing Quotes) I am a morning writer; I am writing at eight thirty in longhand and I keep at it until twelve thirty, when I go for a swim. Then I come back, have lunch, and read in the afternoon until I take my walk for the next day's writing  (Writing Quotes) In terms of writing about horses, I fell backwards into that. I was intent on getting a Ph. D., Becoming a professor, and writing on history but I got sick 14 years ago when I was 19. Getting sick derailed that plan completely  (Writing Quotes) If someone decides to be a musician now, it means because there is no hope of money at the end of it, it means they really want to be a musician. And if someone is writing now, there is no hope for money at the end of it  (Writing Quotes) By and large, the critics and readers gave me an affirmed sense of my identity as a writer. You might know this within yourself, but to have it affirmed by others is of utmost importance. Writing is, after all, a form of communication  (Writing Quotes) Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists  (Writing Quotes) When writing comedy, you have to have the confidence to believe that there is only one type of relationship in the world, and we are all having it, that all men behave in the same way and so do all women  (Writing Quotes) I might be writing what people expect me to write, writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that, I started working with my dreams, because I'm not so censored when I use dream material  (Writing Quotes) There is a growing literature about the multitude of journalism's problems, but most of it is concerned with the editorial side of the business, possibly because most people competent to write about journalism are not comfortable writing about finance  (Writing Quotes) When I'm writing, I'm trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because that's how life is lived, you know?  (Writing Quotes) Once I had all the facts in, I found I didn't have the immoral courage to pull the caper. So I wrote it as a story. As a teenager, I didn't have any skills for writing as such, so it came out in 1500 words  (Writing Quotes) I would love to spend all my time writing to you; I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul; phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true  (Writing Quotes) Not to say people shouldn't get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many artists have been making money without magic  (Writing Quotes) I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting  (Writing Quotes) You know, the process of making a documentary is one of discovery, and like writing a story, you follow a lead and that leads you to something else and then by the time you finish, the story is nothing like you expected  (Writing Quotes) Well, for your favor, sir, why, give God thanks and make no boast of it; and for your writing and reading, let that appear when there is no need of such vanity  (Writing Quotes) The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers  (Writing Quotes) I was totally absorbed in the real world, the politics, the history, the news, and I just couldn't find my way into the fictional world. When I finally could return to writing the novel, it was in fits and starts  (Writing Quotes) Her hand, in whose comparison all whites are ink writing their own reproach, to whose soft seizure the cygnets down is harsh, and spirit of sense hard as the palm of ploughman!  (Writing Quotes) If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it  (Writing Quotes) The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing  (Writing Quotes) When I was in college, I used to write little ditties and short stories and poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans  (Writing Quotes) I'm conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There's hardly a day that goes past on which I don't write poetry  (Writing Quotes) When I look at a lot of older stuff that I've written, I think one sign of amateur humor writing is when you see people trying too hard  (Writing Quotes) To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make  (Writing Quotes)
