Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams

I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

If you have to pay the bills, and you write something you're not proud of, use a pen-name for that.
Dean Koontz

We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.
Robert Kiyosaki

Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
Fran Lebowitz

I think I'd be pretty easy to write for.
Dick Cavett

Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.
Meryl Streep
