My oldest brother was stabbed thirty to forty times and strangled to death with his own belt when I was eight years old. Much of my life has been pockmarked with violence. So I had a natural interest in the topic, along with a strong home-field advantage.

For each book, there's a back story of where the idea came from. Sometimes it's derived from a current event or topic of discussion. Often it begins with a character. And often, I have NO idea what sparked the idea. It's just there.

I didn't get to college until my 20s, because I was a young father on welfare and had to take all kind of jobs to support my young son. There's what frames my view on the topics I discuss on my shows, and the average person relates to that. No matter how many degrees I have now, I lived that life, and that comes through to the people watching.

I think you have to read a lot. I think if you're going to write about something you better have read at least 100 books on that topic.
Larry Winget

History is important. More than any other topic, it is about us. Whether one deems our present society wondrous or awful or both, history reveals how we got to this point.
James W. Loewen

We had an endless supply of topics, both of us eager to put forth all we knew on anything and everything. Most of the meal was spent discussing the intricacies of the organic certification process. It was pretty awesome.
Richelle Mead

If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman

Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.
Robert Rodriguez

One sad consequence of this is that people don't feel permitted to try understand Internet infrastructure, so I'm really grateful to groups like Free Press and other nonprofits who are trying to make the issue urgent and comprehensible. And Andre Blum's book Tubes is great on this topic.
Astra Taylor

Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics
Benoit Mandelbrot
Image
I've been thinking so much about writing as a gift to readers - and how newness of subject (place or topic or person) is one of the biggest gifts at our disposal.
Leslie Jamison

Though a simple book can be written on selected topics, the central doctrines of economics are not simple and cannot be made so.
Alfred Marshall
Image
Don't believe everything you read. It's very difficult to be accepting of our own bodies. This topic deserves it's own book, but since I'm not qualified to write it, I won't. Instead I'll just say this: The pictures staring out at you from the supermarket checkout stands, the images we are all supposed to aspire to? They lie
Ally Carter

I grew up reading Tolkien, and I love him. But I love him in the way that you love that rambly old grandfather. You have to sit through some pretty off-topic stuff before he starts telling his cool old war stories.
Patrick Rothfuss

It's funny to hear how much certain people resist the lip ring. Sometimes I'll do a piece on an important topic and all the YouTube comments will be about the lip ring. I don't really have a good answer for why I got the lip ring. I just wanted it! But I've had it for a million years. I got my lip pierced when I was like 15.
Cara Santa Maria

What I love about what I do is expanding people's minds on the topics of gender expression, gay rights, and most of all, entertaining them while I do it.
Jinkx Monsoon

Healing is too big a topic for any one person to know it all.
Andrew Saul

I always wanted to make a children's album because you have the freedom to explore so many wonderful topics and sounds.
Lisa Loeb

I spent my time trying to understand grand jury procedure - a topic about which I never before had the slightest interest.
Donella Meadows
Image
Now women in comedy is a trendy topic, and people are hungering for women's voices in a way that they haven't before.
Rachel Bloom
Image
If you write chick lit, and if you're a New Yorker, and if your book becomes the topic of pop-culture fascination, the paper might make dismissive and ignorant mention of your book. If you write romance, forget about it. You'll be lucky if they spell your name right on the bestseller list.
Jennifer Weiner

I'd think of a topic and just rant on it and transfer it to the computer, upload it. It's such a quick thing. You post it on your website and after an hour, 10 people write comments.
Andy Milonakis
Image
If I'm educated and passionate about a topic, I'll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.
Kevin Durant

Magnus's eyes went back to Alec. They were gold-green, as unreadable as the eyes of the cat he held on his lap. Not my favorite topic, Smedley. Simon, said Simon. If I'm going to die for you all, the least you could do is remember my name.
