Easy reading is damn hard writing.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

A chef is a mixture maybe of artistry and craft. You have to learn the craft really to get there.
Wolfgang Puck

I recognize that it is through the engagement with my craft - by recognizing an idea and drawing it out, building physical models, collaborating with experts, constructing the sculptures at urban scale, and maintaining them through years of weather and interaction with the public - that a new art for cities has become real.
Janet Echelman
Image
Fundamental accuracy of statement is the ONE sole morality of writing.
Ezra Pound
Image
I never regarded my pictures as very much to be proud of, except in this, the craft, the style.
Douglas Sirk

I don't care who writes a nation's laws - or crafts its advanced treaties - if I can write its economics textbooks.
Paul Samuelson

Never hesitate to imitate another writer - every person learning a craft or an art needs models. Eventually you'll find your own voice and will shed the skin of the writer you imitated.
William Zinsser

A big part of country music is a way of life, at least from my standpoint. That's how I craft my music from my own life experiences.

I thought I would write something that would make some people uncomfortable. . . . What intrigued me, I think, was the idea of women of my own generation who were successful, intelligent, coming to power and suddenly in the public arena. I started to think about what they are allowed and what they are not allowed.
Wendy Wasserstein

But really important, perhaps most important is the craft how you make your record, the creation of these sonic worlds you want your listener to hear.
Duncan Sheik

Sit down every day and DO IT. Writing is a self-taught craft the more you work at it, the more skilled you become. And when you're not writing, READ.
Lois Duncan
Image
At another level, though, poems can craft an eraser - we can't revise the past, but poems allow us some malleability, an increased freedom of response, comprehension, feeling. Choice, what choices are possible for any given person, is another theme that's run through my work from the start.
Jane Hirshfield
Image
Magic is the craft of shaping, the craft of the wise, exhilarating, dangerous - the ultimate adventure. The power of magic should not be underestimated. It works, often in ways that are unexpected and difficult to control.
Starhawk

Sonia Rykiel
Image
I grew up studying ballet I grew up honing my craft.
Janice Dickinson

Lucinda Williams
Image
When rewriting, move quickly. It's a little like cutting your own hair.
Robert Stone
Image
To write simply is as difficult as to be good.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
There’s always been this hocus-pocus or magical, mystical thing associated with the making of film that sort of psyches people out and makes them think that this cannot be done that this is a craft that cannot be learned.
Spike Lee
Image
I no longer gave a sick dog's drop for the wisdom, the reliability and the authority of the public's literary mind, those creeps and old ladies of vested reviewing.
Norman Mailer
Image
Race relations can be an appropriate issue... but only if you want to craft solutions, and not catalogue complaints. If we use the issue appropriately, we can transform it from the cancer of our society into the cure.
David Dinkins
Image
There's something about a parenthesis in fiction that puts one off, saying, It's me, moi, jumping in now.
John L'Heureux
Image
I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.
Chloe Grace Moretz
Image
