TV and film are very different media with different requirements. In a TV show, you have actors and fellow writers and directors, who are interpreting your work. With a novel, you only have ink, words and your reader.

More quotes by Howard Gordon
I'm one of three brothers.
Howard Gordon
I have a ways to go as a novelist. But what's great is, well, I frankly enjoyed the solitude. And I enjoyed being able to tell characters what to say and do without negotiating with an actor.
Howard Gordon
In some ways, a novel isn't as structurally rigorous as a screenplay or a TV show, which have finite real estate. In a novel, you can more deeply illuminate a character's interior and get away with digressions.
Howard Gordon
The novel remains a very special form for me.
Howard Gordon
Doing good stuff or stuff that you are proud of takes time and takes effort.
Howard Gordon
Her lips were like the soft beauty of a delicately designed silken scarf.
Howard Gordon
I feel like a centrist, an issue-specific person. I'm pretty conservative fiscally and pretty liberal on social issues.
Howard Gordon
I knew I wanted to be a writer. Where I came from, no one was a writer. I came from Long Island, and everyone became a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer or a teacher or a businessman. I didn't know any writers.
Howard Gordon
I guess I've always been an aspiring novelist. I went to Princeton and wrote a novel for my thesis.
Howard Gordon
In a novel, the relationship between writer and reader is such a pure one.
Howard Gordon
I've always wanted to write a novel. It's overwhelming and daunting, and it's one of those things that every writer fantasizes about doing.
