I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.

To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence.
George Orwell
Image
Not without design does God write the music of our lives.
John Ruskin
Image
I can't personally drink or fight too much nowadays because I have to be perky in the morning in order to write.
Bonnie Jo Campbell
Image
In everything I write, I seek out something which I term, 'the music'. This is an energy centre which I cannot define and which lies beyond the realm of obvious poetic technique.

There are many people who say, I write for myself. I think that if you write and publish, then you write for your readers, not just for yourself. Many writers say that they write to be loved. I place myself among those writers.

Ignorance breeds antipathy. Until I got to know how computers worked, I didn't want anything to do with them. I said, 'Well, why do I need them? I write letters.' Which I still do.

It's true that I have a wide range of interests. I like to write and paint and make music and go walking on my own and garden. In fact, gardening is probably what I enjoy doing more than anything else.

Im looking for a guy who makes you want to dance and write poetry all day long.
Angela Sarafyan
Image
I write to cover a frame of ideas.
H. G. Wells
Image
I don't write at the library, because I smoke when I work or would like the possibility of a smoke. Also, I need to be at my own desk.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life?
Rufus Wainwright
Image
If it's not happening, write your own thing!
Molly Shannon
Image
What I write is very personal, but not autobiographical. It's more 'thematically personal' - what's up in my life in terms of themes at the moment.
Josh Radnor
Image
Indian writers have appropriated English as an Indian language, and that gives a certain freshness to the way we write.

For me, the day job comes first. That's why I call myself a diplomat who writes, not a writer who masquerades as a diplomat. If the day job demands it, I won't write at all. I write in what I call 'the crevices of my day job', and that comes only on weekends.

I began to write short pieces when I was living in a room too small to write a novel in.
Angela Cartwright
Image
Why do writers, say, give up a job in economics and decide to write poetry? Or, why do they give up a job in a bank and decide to paint, like Krishan Khanna? They want to convey something.

I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books.

Image
I play music - I write my own music, but I play music, just background music really, and just let it happen.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.
Angel Olsen
Image
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...
Ang Lee
Image
Get yourself a notebook and write in it EVERY night for two weeks. Then stop if you can. If you can't, you're a writer.
Charles Ghigna

My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.
