I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.

Clarence Budington Kelland

Sidney Sheldon

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

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

In Hollywood, the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can’t read. If they could read their stuff, they’d stop writing.

Will Rogers

M. K. Simmons

Christopher Hampton

Robert A. Heinlein

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

Stephen Wright

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

Edward Albee

Robert Altman

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

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

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

Michael Burke

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.
