Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil, trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

William Faulkner

Books aren’t written, they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.

Michael Crichton

Don’t annoy an author, you’ll end up in their book and you won’t look good.

Lawrence Wray

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.

John Legend

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.

George Bernard Shaw

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages.
