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

Edward Albee

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.

William Goldman

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

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.

William C. Gault

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

Steven Bochco

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

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

Michael Burke

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

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

Clarence Budington Kelland

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

There are three primal urges in human beings: Food, sex, and rewriting someone else’s play.

Romulus Linney

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

Sherman Reilly Duffy

Keep a small can of WD-40 on your desk — away from any open flames — to remind yourself that if you don’t write daily, you will get rusty.

George Singleton

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Robert A. Heinlein

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

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton

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