To me, it makes more sense to write different songs and to play different kinds of music and to find your own voice. But no matter what, get out and play for people. Get out and learn, and do everything that you can, you know?

Oswald Chambers writes, ‘Never make a principle out of your experience let God be as original with other people as He is with you.’ To that I would add, ‘Be careful not to turn others’ lives into the mold for your own.’ Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
Francis Chan

Sometimes dreams show me that my writing should go deeper. Dreams have not so much changed my work as deepened it.
Anne Rice
Image
People write to me all the time to tell me that homosexuality is an abomination. They base this on a quote in Leviticus. I think the Bible has proved to be a very mysterious and dangerous document.
Anne Rice
Image
I'll think about things for thirty or forty years before I'll write it.
Richard Brautigan
Image
I promised that from now on I would write only for the Lord.
Anne Rice
Image
Obviously, a writer can't know everything about what she writes. It's impossible.
Anne Rice
Image
That's the wonderful thing about drama and writing and fiction: it's this wonderful shared experience that we all have. We can see into each other's lives.
Uma Thurman

When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can't say it enough.
Anne Rice
Image
If you want to be a writer, write. Write and write and write. If you stop, start again. Save everything that you write. If you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. Write. Writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.
Anne Rice

When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.
Anne Rice
Image
Writers write about what obsesses them. You draw those cards. I lost my mother when I was 14. My daughter died at the age of 6. I lost my faith as a Catholic. When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.
Anne Rice
Image
The author should die once he has finished writing. So as not to trouble the path of the text.
Umberto Eco
Image
When the writer (or the artist in general) says he has worked without giving any thought to the rules of the process, he simply means he was working without realizing he knew the rules.
Umberto Eco
Image
It is clear that when you write a story that takes place in the past, you try to show what really happened in those times. But you are always moved by the suspicion that you are also showing something about our contemporary world.
Umberto Eco
Image
I don't want to write a novel per year. I know that I need a break of one or two years. So maybe I invent some new, urgent activity so I don't fall into the trap of starting a new novel.
Umberto Eco
Image
I've learned ruthless concentration. I can write under any circumstances...street noises, loud talk, music, you name it.
Sylvia Porter
Image
First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success.
Anne Rice
Image
Obsession led me to write. It's been that way with every book I've ever written. I become completely consumed by a theme, by characters, by a desire to meet a challenge.
Anne Rice
Image
There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
Garry Marshall
Image
When the poet is in love, he is incapable of writing poetry on love. He has to write when he remembers that he was in love.
Umberto Eco
Image
To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.
Anne Rice
Image
I meant to write a song of battle, for storied deeds of war inspire I seemed to hear the cannon thunder, I seemed to see the smoke and fire. But oh, the pathos of the ending when brave men conquered in the fight, knelt, kissing yielded blood-stained colors!--my eyes are blurred, I cannot write.

Words? I tell you not to write me letters I command you. Is it not enough to want you so in vain, but you send me what evokes you here before me -- this paper, all along whose lines your hand has lain?
