Do not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Joseph Conrad

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.

John Legend

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing.

Elbert Hubbard

If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.
