More quotes by W. P. Kinsella
My main income came from failed movie and TV options.
W. P. Kinsella
Use your imagination. Trust me, your lives are not interesting. Don't write them down.
W. P. Kinsella
I don't believe in the afterlife.
W. P. Kinsella
Hardly anybody recognizes the most significant moments of their life at the time they happen.
W. P. Kinsella
Read! Read! Read! And then read some more. When you find something that thrills you, take it apart paragraph by paragraph, line by line, word by word, to see what made it so wonderful. Then use those tricks next time you write.
W. P. Kinsella
In the 70s and 80s, I made a good living. Have managed my funds carefully, will never have to go out and cadge quarters from the tourists.
W. P. Kinsella
Read, read, read, read and then read some more.

The crack of the bat, the sound of baseballs thumping into gloves, the infield chatter are like birdsong to the baseball starved.
W. P. Kinsella

W. P. Kinsella
[Mid-list writers are now] less greed on the part of both publishers and chain booksellers. It is easier for them to publish and sell only blockbusters and leave the real work to small presses.
W. P. Kinsella
Perhaps crossing the barriers of time has freed me.
W. P. Kinsella
The law is like rope...useful, necessary, strong, but it can be bent and twisted into all kinds of shapes depending on the occasion.
W. P. Kinsella
Heroes don't need to talk about what they did.
W. P. Kinsella
Most writers are unhappy with film adaptations of their work, and rightly so. 'Field of Dreams,' however, caught the spirit and essence of 'Shoeless Joe' while making the necessary changes to make the work more visual.
W. P. Kinsella
He bats like a lightning rod.
W. P. Kinsella
1946, if my memory is correct. Harry The Cat Brecheen went against the Red Sox in Game 7. I stayed home to listen, practically had my head inside the radio.
W. P. Kinsella
If you build it, he will come.
