Writing Quotes

My favorite books are a constantly changing list, but one favorite has remained constant: the dictionary. Is the word I want to use spelled practice or practise? The dictionary knows. The dictionary also slows down my writing because it is such interesting reading that I am distracted Picture Quote #1

Writing is so wrapped up in ego, but with math one is just trying to get it right, although you’re often wrong. I think math helped me become a good critic of myself, come at writing a little less personally Picture Quote #1

I think by writing about a place with great specificity, you manage to make it universal Picture Quote #1

I love writing about men. To get by in the world you have to know how men think. Not that all guys think alike, but women tend to think about more things at the same time, an overgeneralization, but I find it easier to make my male characters focus than I do my female characters Picture Quote #1

I think in the old days, films really went for the shock, with the blood and guts, but movies are getting better. The writing and directing have improved a lot, because the audience demands it Picture Quote #1

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I’ve been singing since I was eleven Picture Quote #1

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song Picture Quote #1

Whenever I’m on tour and I’m in my hotel room and I’m writing and playing my guitar, I go in the bathroom and I record whatever I’m writing in there. It’s just what I love to do Picture Quote #1

Occasionally people ask me how it is I write different types of things, and my answer to that is it’s very natural. You get bored writing one kind of thing all the time Picture Quote #1

You know, there’s always someone in mind when I’m writing. You know, it’s all comes from somewhere inside Picture Quote #1

I entered a poem in a poetry contest around 1987, and the poem won and I received $1,000 for it. That made me realize that maybe what I was writing was worth reading to people. After that, for some reason, I turned to novels and I’ve written mainly novels ever since Picture Quote #1

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn’t get easier. It just doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I have written a memoir here and there, and that takes its own form of selfishness and courage. However, generally speaking, I have no interest in writing about my own life or intruding in the privacy of those around me Picture Quote #1

More than periods where I don’t write anything, I have periods where I just write junk and I know I’m writing junk but I can’t stop Picture Quote #1

When you’re writing for a sequel and there’s a movie that’s been deemed sacred ground by the fanbase that’s the predecessor, you cannot do anything to tread on that, so it’s a bit trickier than just being able to sit down and write something Picture Quote #1

I’m the most communal person that exists and a very solitary person. So I think writing is a form of getting to the community and being alone, and it’s the best of both possible worlds Picture Quote #1

I’m really not one of these procrastinators who cleans the house in order to put off writing, but life gets in the way Picture Quote #1

The writing day can be, in some ways, too short, but it’s actually a long series of hours, for months at a time, and there is a stillness there Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been creating my whole life, you know. I’ve just had a need to create, whether it was sculpting or writing or directing. It’s just ever since I was a kid, I don’t know Picture Quote #1

I have always loved to read, and now that I have penned 10 novels and a few magazine articles, I have fallen seriously in love with writing stories and seeing them go out into the world. It’s magical, you know? Picture Quote #1

What I wanted to do was to earn enough money to pay for my mother’s house. When my mother passed away, I wanted to buy it from the rest of my family and keep the house in the family. That was the only reason I even attempted writing for money Picture Quote #1

When I was a child, writing was the worst possible choice of a career in my family Picture Quote #1

I think it’s a very bad idea for someone to start writing for a readership Picture Quote #1

I like reading history, and actually most authors enjoy the research part because it is, after all, easier than writing Picture Quote #1

I like writing different types of music. I don’t like being stuck into one thing Picture Quote #1

I was writing short films and I was going through this really, really, really terrible end of a relationship that I didn’t want to be going through.
