Wrote Quotes

I wrote an entire movie [Man up] about how important I think voices are, so it was funny Picture Quote #1

I loved Frances Hodgson Burnett, who wrote ‘The Little Princess’ and ‘The Secret Garden.’ And I loved the ‘Little House on the Prairie’ books by Laura Ingalls Wilder Picture Quote #1

What’s changed is we now have good anatomical, geological, archaeological evidence that Neanderthals are not our ancestors. When I wrote ‘Lucy,’ I considered Neanderthals ancestors of modern humans. We have gone back twice the age of Lucy, six million years. And we see that upright bipedal walking goes back that far in time Picture Quote #1

I often joke that I could write ‘War and Peace’ and make it sound like Geri Halliwell wrote it Picture Quote #1

A German philosopher once wrote that he who fights monsters must take care that he doesn’t become one himself Picture Quote #1

One night I had a dream and woke up and wrote down the dream. That was my first short story. The dream was a kind of fantasy of me getting revenge on my father Picture Quote #1

I wrote my own play, ‘The Westie Monologues,’ about where I’m from in Australia, and it was very successful. From that, I started getting offers from television Picture Quote #1

Today is the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. President Lincoln wrote it on his way to the site of the speech on the back of an envelope. One guy on the back of an envelope wrote the great Gettysburg Address - while every night it takes six guys to write this crap! Picture Quote #1

I loved all ghost stories. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I wrote one Picture Quote #1

I wrote ghost stories because I’d always enjoyed reading them, and they seemed to be fizzling out... I don’t take them terribly seriously. It’s like a cake, with ingredients Picture Quote #1

I have only read very classic traditional English ghost stories, other than Henry James, who wrote some magnificent short ones as well as the longer ‘Turn of the Screw.’ He, Dickens, and M.R. James are my influences Picture Quote #1

I would like to tell you that I wrote my book to push back artistic boundaries. But I didn’t. I wrote it to impress a girl Picture Quote #1

I like God Give Me the Strength very much. It’s not really a blues and to call it a ballad is absurd. I don’t know, its mid-tempo. Mark (St. John) actually wrote it and I think its very telling of our lives in the 60s. Its just a good song, ya know Picture Quote #1

But the law of God came from heaven indeed. God wrote it with his finger, it is the fountain of all wisdom, and therefore shall it continue for ever, and never have an end Picture Quote #1

The poem ‘What Teachers Make’ is not without its detractors. This one person wrote to me and said: ‘Gee, Mr. Mali. You don’t possibly have a teacher-God complex, do you?’ And that was the first time I’d ever heard of that expression. So, yeah, I’m sure I have a teacher-God complex Picture Quote #1

I wrote a piece for the school literary magazine that now makes me think: ‘My God in Heaven, this is just the worst drivel.’ Picture Quote #1

Why is the public so interested in movies about the wealthy? My answer is that Shakespeare wrote about kings. That’s where the action is. And it’s the classic, cathartic thing. You get to indulge in a lifestyle you’re not part of, a tragic error leads to a downfall, and you get to say, ‘Thank God I’m not him.’ Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think anything I wrote was going to get published. I’m a dyslexic kid who had tutors through college. But I had a very strong impulse to write Picture Quote #1

I was obsessed with George Orwell for years. I remember going to the town library and having to put in interlibrary loan requests to get the compilation of his BBC radio pieces. I had to get everything he ever wrote Picture Quote #1

It was right after 9/11 and I decided to walk around the grounds of the Pentagon, because I had never been there. Out of nowhere comes this speeding camouflaged golf cart and this guy starts yelling at me, ‘What do you think you’re doing!’ The guy wrote my name down and began to follow me before I got really scared and took off as fast as I could Picture Quote #1

I directed the next-to-last episode of ‘Parenthood.’ I wrote three of the four last episodes. I had the cast to my house. Had a champagne toast with the writers. Had a huge cast and crew party. Drank eggnog in the camera truck after we wrapped the final day. All that, and I don’t really feel like I’ve said good-bye to ‘Parenthood.’ Picture Quote #1

I wrote large chunks of ‘The Impostor’ and ‘The Good Doctor’ on a beach in Goa Picture Quote #1

Behind every drama is a good storybehind every tear is the person who wrote it Picture Quote #1

I made a very good living as a bad writer. I wrote a lot of comedies, ‘Diff’rent Strokes,’ ‘Facts of Life,’ while all my friends were doing the good shows, like ‘Cheers,’ but I loved it because I got to be a working writer in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

What the world wants, what the world is waiting for, is not Modern Poetry or Classical Poetry or Neo-Classical Poetry - but Good Poetry. And the dreadful disreputable doubt, which stirs in my own skeptical mind, is doubt about whether it would really matter much what style a poet chose to write in, in any period, as long as he wrote Good poetry Picture Quote #1

It was very lucky for me as a writer that I studied the physical sciences rather than English. I wrote for my own amusement. There was no kindly English professor to tell me for my own good how awful my writing really was. And there was no professor with the power to order me what to read, either Picture Quote #1

But John Landis wrote a good relationship which is really what the film’s about. A very straightforward young woman who’s very sure of herself and she meets a young man who needs some taking care of Picture Quote #1

I wrote short stories when I was a teenager, but they weren’t any good and I kinda knew it Picture Quote #1

I was a good student, but a speech impediment was causing problems. One of my teachers decided that I couldn’t pronounce certain words at all. She thought that if I wrote something, I would use words I could pronounce. I began writing little poems. I began to write short stories, too Picture Quote #1
