The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.
A. Whitney Brown

I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.
Rick James

A good story is a good story no matter who wrote it.
Anne McCaffrey

If I wrote a musical it wouldn't be about me. Although I do some magic, so it would probably be about a magician who appeared and re-appeared all over the place.
Neil Patrick Harris

I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell

I loved the last album, and it was one hundred percent me. But this is like me two years later, who understands a little bit more about music and understands a little bit more about making an album. I wrote a lot more.
Jennifer Lopez

I wrote my first play when I was eight.
Pam Gems

When I was still in prep school - 14, 15 - I started keeping notebooks, journals. I started writing, almost like landscape drawing or life drawing. I never kept a diary, I never wrote about my day and what happened to me, but I described things.
John Irving

It's just that what's important there is different there than what's important is here. Here, people care that you wrote a book or that you work in the media.
Chuck Klosterman

I was fortunate that I was at newspapers for eight years, where I wrote at least five or six stories every week. You get used to interviewing lots of different people about a lot of different things. And they aren't things you know about until you do the story.
Chuck Klosterman

I basically wrote the code and the specs and documentation for how the client and server talked to each other.
Tim Berners-Lee

I got the regular call, that they were doing a Broadway musical of Hairspray, and would I come and audition. I was familiar with the movie, because at the time it came out my lover wrote for Premiere magazine, and we had to see everything.
Harvey Fierstein

Dr. Johnson was a lazy learned man who liked to think and talk better than to read or write; who, however, wrote much and well, but too often by rote.
William Hazlitt

If I wrote a play with four characters every single one of them would talk like me regardless of age or sex.
Norman MacCaig

Somebody wrote a script around us, but Dustin Abraham came with the best one.
Method Man

I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because -suddenly being a parent- I'd be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day.
Thom Yorke

Interpreter of Maladies is the title of one of the stories in the book. And the phrase itself was something I thought of before I even wrote that story.
Jhumpa Lahiri

Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?
Billy Joel

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
Robert Smith

The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.
Sheryl Crow
