I Write Quotes

I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality.
Manuel Puig

Reality, Understand, Write

I write for somebody who has my own limitations. My reader has a certain difficulty with concentrating, which in my case comes from being a film viewer.
Manuel Puig

Write, Film, Somebody

Every time that I write a novel I am convinced for at least two years that it is the last one, because a novel is like a child. It takes two years after its birth. You have to take care of it. It starts walking, and then speaking.
Umberto Eco

Time, Care, Two

I write what I write.
Umberto Eco

With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.
Madeleine L'Engle

Life, Book, Become

When I write a film, there's a particular thing I am wrestling with and the question or concern I'm dealing with has to be big enough for me to dedicate a year or two of my life. If the question isn't big enough, or rich enough, I'll lose interest.
Josh Radnor

Life, Two, Enough

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

Life, Moment, Write

I write in freehand equivalents because measuring, to me, takes away from the creative process of cooking. Two turns of the pan with EVOO is about two tablespoons.
Rachael Ray

Two, Away, Creative

Whenever I write about mental health and integrative therapies, I am accused of being prejudiced against pharmaceuticals. So let me be clear - integrative medicine is the judicious application of both conventional and evidence-based natural therapies.
Andrew Weil

Health, Write, Against

With my own memoirs, they are truthful, and I write everything fully expecting to some day end up televised on Court TV, and I'm fully prepared to be challenged legally on it.
Augusten Burroughs

End, Everything, Write

I write short stories, and I wrote a play.
Rita Dove

Play, Short, Write

I learn my lines while on the golf course. I try to do two or three things at once. I have ideas for books all the time, I have ideas for paintings all the time, and I write them all down. I take my sketchpad and my iPad, which I design on, and I do sit down and do specific tasks at specific times.
Jane Seymour

Time, Design, Down

I write back to all the soldiers who write to me and send them posters and calendars.
Brooke Burke

Write, Soldiers, Posters

I hate it, it is tedious... when I write for my act, it is very improvisational, I write bullet points, I cannot sit in front of a computer; that is not my style.
Kathy Griffin

Hate, Cannot, Write

I prefer being known for my stand-up because I write it. I love being an actor, and saying other people's words is great. But then, when I do stand-up, I love getting my own point of view out there.
Kathy Griffin

Love, Great, Saying

Well, I must tell you I write the scripts very close to the bone. So I'm writing episode seven now and couldn't tell you what happens in episode eight.
Aaron Sorkin

Writing, Tell, Write

Like, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.
Taylor Momsen

Good, Everything, Before

I do try to separate my personal activism - showing up at a demonstration or something - from what I write.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Try, Write, Personal

Ursula K. Le Guin

Write, Writer, Fiction

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning, you throw on your suspenders, and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand, usually, and sing into a tape recorder.
Tom Waits

Morning, Off, Write

Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs.
Peter Steele

Sometimes, Write, Style

All over the world the wildlife that I write about is in grave danger. It is being exterminated by what we call the progress of civilization.
Gerald Durrell

Write, Progress, Call

I have been blessed in many ways, and one of those is to have been born in Africa, for me a great treasure house of stories. I have been researching it since my infancy; reading about it, talking to men and women who have spent their lives in this land, living it as I have and loving it as I do. I write almost entirely from my own experience.
Wilbur Smith

Women, Great, Men

I write my books in my head, and not in a specific study with a view. The view is from my inner eyes.
Wilbur Smith

Eyes, Study, Write

I put my soul into every book I write.
Wilbur Smith

Book, Soul, Put

Tahar Ben Jelloun

Life, Funny, Write

I write in the afternoon, from about 12 until 6 or 7. I use an upstairs room as my office. Once I get going I keep at it, and it usually takes about six months from the first blank screen until 'The End.'
Lee Child

End, Keep, Write

Sometimes I write quickly, sometimes I spend several weeks on a single poem. I would really love for readers not to be able to guess which of the poems took so much work!
Wislawa Szymborska
