I like writing a lot more than I used to. I used to find it scary but now I’ve got used to it once it gets going. I used to find it hard to start. Fear of the blank page. The first thing you write down won’t bear any relation to what’s in your head and that’s always disappointing (Writing Quotes)
No one likes to work for free. To copy an artist’s work and download it free is stealing. It’s hard work writing and recording music, and it’s morally wrong to steal it (Writing Quotes)
I find writing songs hard, because it does not come naturally to me. I never set out to be a songwriter or a singer (Writing Quotes)
I think there is a rage against women. I’ve come to see that now although at the time I did not notice it. I was preoccupied with my teaching and my writing (Writing Quotes)
There were also some cruel reviews by women, but the tone of the male reviewers, sometimes hysterical, was different. I have suffered, but I don’t want to name names but there have been men who have seemed to want to destroy me or my writing, men I don’t even know (Writing Quotes)
Writing is mentally stimulating; it’s like a puzzle that makes you think all the time (Writing Quotes)

I actually didn’t want to have control of the writing on my first album. To write, you have to have time to connect with yourself. I don’t have that time right now, because I’m so busy (Writing Quotes)
Writing, madam, is a mechanic part of wit. A gentleman should never go beyond a song or a billet (Writing Quotes)

Life can’t ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer’s lover until death – fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous, constant (Writing Quotes)
There are two things wrong with almost all legal writing. One is its style. The other is its content (Writing Quotes)
To start writing about your life is, from one standpoint, to stop living it. You must avoid adventures today so as to make time for registering those of yesterday (Writing Quotes)

Women who write with an overriding consciousness that they write as women are engaged not in aspiration toward writing, but chiefly in a politics of sex (Writing Quotes)
