My second play, The Birthday Party, I wrote in 1958 - or 1957. It was totally destroyed by the critics of the day, who called it an absolute load of rubbish.
Harold Pinter

The Room I wrote in 1957, and I was really gratified to find that it stood up. I didn't have to change a word.
Harold Pinter

I wrote lyrics that were intensely personal to me a few years ago. Maybe people know me better now.
Kylie Minogue

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

I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.
Mose Allison

We wrote what sounded good to us and hoped it would find a home.
Cynthia Weil

Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.
Charles Caleb Colton

In the first year, 1988, I wrote and sold 3 novels.
George Stephen

I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.
Gavin Rossdale

This book that I just wrote is going to be coming out very soon to Australia.
Ronald Biggs

Well, writing was what I wanted to do, it was always what I wanted to do. I had novels to write so I wrote them.
Octavia Butler

You promised to take care of me and not to turn your back on me. How is it possible that you never wrote to me even once and you never came back to see me? Do you think that it is fun for me to spend months, even years, without any news, without any hope!
Camille Claudel

When I was a kid, I wrote music - from the age of 11 until the age of 18.
Harrison Birtwistle

I guess if I wrote a book one day, it would be about hair.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Writers are frequently asked why they wrote their first book. A more interesting answer might come from asking them why they wrote their second one.
Len Deighton

I wrote my children's book because I believe there are children that are hurting and may need to know that there is love out there for them- God's love.
Janine Turner

The Washington Times wrote a story questioning the authenticity of some of the suggestions made about me in Silent Coup. But as a believer in the First Amendment, I believe they have more than a right to air their views.
Bob Woodward

TV's hard work. I don't know how the hell Angela Lansbury survived doing 'Murder, She Wrote' all those years. And sure, everyone wants to be Bruce Willis or George Clooney - they want to be in film for the range of characters you get to play.
Christopher Meloni

When I wrote my book I wanted to love someone. I wanted to be in love. Now I know that I shall never be in love - and I no longer wish to be.
Mary MacLane

I was five years old when I wrote my first song. It was out of longing for my father that I wrote it.
