American Writers Quotes

American writers want to be not good but great; and so are neither Picture Quote #1

I read mostly Irish, African, Japanese, South American, and African writers. You can count on Scandinavian literature for a certain kind of darkness, a modern mythic style Picture Quote #1

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers Picture Quote #1

American writers ought to stand and live in the margins, and be more dangerous Picture Quote #1

It is in this matter that I fall foul of so many American writers on writing; they seem to think that writing is a confidence game by means of which the author cajoles a restless, dull-witted, shallow audience into hearing his point of view. Such an attitude is base, and can only beget base prose Picture Quote #1

If you just sit there, and you’re a writer, you’re bound to write crap. A lot of American writing is crap. And a lot of American writers are professionals Picture Quote #1

Fantasy doesn’t have to be fantastic. American writers in particular find this much harder to grasp. You need to have your feet on the ground as much as your head in the clouds. The cute dragon that sits on your shoulder also craps all down your back, but this makes it more interesting because it gives it an added dimension Picture Quote #1

American writers, at least those of us who are fortunate enough to support ourselves in the field, are by and large a lucky lot Picture Quote #1

Some American writers who have known each other for years have never met in the daytime or when both were sober Picture Quote #1
