In a novel, I could submerge my ego in a character's and let his perceptions take over.
Elizabeth Moon

Not only may she unconsciously register a favorable impression with my associates and me, but she may also suggest something by her work that will lead to some new and novel feature in a forthcoming production.
Florenz Ziegfeld

You would go mad if you began to speculate about the impact your novel might have while you were still writing it.
Jonathan Coe

Restoration I did because I really loved e novel and I like Michael Hoffman, who directed it, but it wasn't a really challenging part for me. I'm not critical of the film: I just don't think I gave a very interesting performance.
David Thewlis

Babylon 5 is probably the biggest, most ambitious television science fiction series ever made. It's one big novel told over five years with 110 different stories told within it.
Bill Mumy

However novel it may appear, I shall venture the assertion, that, until women assume the place in society which good sense and good feeling alike assign to them, human improvement must advance but feebly.
Frances Wright

A novel, in the end, is a container, a shape which you are trying to pour your story into.
Helen Dunmore

Narrative art, the novel, from Murasaki to Proust, has produced great works of poetry.
Eugenio Montale

I knew I'd have to go to work in real estate or something else or I could never finish my novel.
Judith Rossner

Anthony Powell

Graham Nelson

I found some time ago that I have to be careful, while working on a novel, what I read.
John Sladek

I had always said to myself that forty was the cut off point of my apprenticeship which may for some people sound like a very long one, but the novel as art is a middle-aged art.
Jane Rule

And it is a folly to try to craft a novel for the screen, to write a novel with a screen contract in mind.
Thomas Keneally

My favorite period is World War II, and I'm in the middle of writing my fourth novel set in that era.
Ken Follett

I'm working on a nonfiction book on Nepal and a novel about diasporas.
Louise Brown

I love Richard Yates, his work, and the novel, Revolutionary Road. It's a devastating novel.
Michael Chabon

Many characters in the novel are representative of types that exist in India. He represents the caste system in India with an air of superiority, the caste system in India and the people thinking that western things are better.
Anita Desai

In the West audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
Chow Yun-Fat

I'm working on a new novel, in its 3rd draft, but it's hard to write while doing 7th Heaven.
Stephen Collins
