Text Quotes
Writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage  (Writing Quotes) You will feel discouraged; you will lose confidence in your abilities; you will be bored with the characters–and the only way to overcome these obstacles is to write your way through them. And writing always works  (Writing Quotes) I’m removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world. That’s why I started writing songs and stories from a very young age. I’d much rather walk around anonymously cooking up tales than face the people that I have known forever  (Writing Quotes) In the absence of any written analogue to speech, the sensible, natural environment remains the primary visual counterpart of spoken utterance, the palpable site, or matrix wherein meaning occurs and proliferates. In the absence of writing, we find ourselves situated in the field of discourse as we are embedded in the natural landscape; indeed, the two matrices are not separable. We can no more stabilize the language and render its meanings determinate than we can freeze all motion and metamorphosis within the land  (Writing Quotes) Agile methods derive much of their agility by relying on the tacit knowledge embodied in the team, rather than writing the knowleadge down in plans  (Writing Quotes) Writing is for men who can think and feel, not mindless sensation seekers out of nightclubs and bars. But these are bad times. We are condemned to work with upstarts, clowns who no doubt got their training in a circus and then turned to journalism as the appropriate place to display their tricks  (Writing Quotes) Writing is a fine thing, because it combines the two pleasures of talking to yourself and talking to a crowd  (Writing Quotes) Being smart in the arts is the same as being smart in engineering is the same as being smart in writing is the same as being smart in anything, really. It’s the ability to manipulate all the pieces of the puzzle in your mind, try to fit them together, and when they don’t fit quite right... you sand the edges/corners and make them all fit  (Writing Quotes) I am partly not conscious of structure with my movies, but this is when I am writing. I leave my mind very free, and then I correct it after  (Writing Quotes) The thing about writing is that if you have the impulse, you will find the time  (Writing Quotes) When I am asked how I began writing poems, I talk about the indifference of nature  (Writing Quotes) Tasting is an act of pleasure and writing about that pleasure is an artistic gesture, but the only true work of art, in the end, is another person’s feast  (Writing Quotes) You’ll never regret writing any letter out of love. However, it’s a good idea to reread anything you’ve written in anger  (Writing Quotes) Today’s events are tomorrow’s history, yet events seen by the naked eye lack the depth and breadth of human struggles, triumphs and suffering. Writing history is writing the soul of the past… so that the present generation may learn from past mistakes, be inspired by their ancestor’s sacrifices, and take responsibility for the future  (Writing Quotes) I had thought of writing, actually, and that later on I’d be a novelist  (Writing Quotes) Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page  (Writing Quotes) My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing  (Writing Quotes) Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce  (Writing Quotes) I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there’s nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl  (Writing Quotes) As a storyteller, when you’re writing a movie and when you’re directing, you want to keep people entertained. That’s the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining  (Writing Quotes) It’s hard for me to think of writing a novel, because it takes so long  (Writing Quotes) And I’ve always loved commercials. I like working out how to organically weave a brand’s message into the writing process. It’s like an improv show, where comics ask the audience to throw out a word and a skit is built around it  (Writing Quotes) I think it’s a very bad idea for someone to start writing for a readership  (Writing Quotes) A certain luxury when you get to writing a novel is to have the space to have your characters just banter  (Writing Quotes) I love writing. I feel ridiculously lucky that this is what I get to do all day  (Writing Quotes) When I make a film, I never stop uncovering mysteries, making discoveries. When I’m writing, filming, editing, even doing promotional work, I discover new things about the film, about myself, and about others. That is what I’m subconsciously looking for when shooting a film: to glimpse the enigmas of life, even if I don’t resolve them, but at least to uncover them. Cinema is curiosity in the most intense meaning of the word  (Writing Quotes) I don’t really think of time off as writing blocks. I think that’s a western notion of demonizing inactivity. When your imagination decides it needs to take a nap. maybe that’s what it needs to do  (Writing Quotes) With my writing, what I want to do is humanize the young people I write about  (Writing Quotes) I love to read. But I loved to read a lot longer than I started to love writing  (Writing Quotes) Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don’t need an education to understand it, and there’s no admission fee  (Writing Quotes)
