Writing novels is the most exciting.
Sidney Sheldon
There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair.
Haruki Murakami
I don't think American poetry has gotten any better in the past 35 years. Oddly enough, creative writing programs seem to have been good for fiction, and I would not have predicted that.
Robert Morgan
I considered going to film school; I took a course in film and was very interested in filmmaking as well as film writing.
Robert Morgan
I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.
Robert Morgan
The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end.
Robert Morgan
Maybe the example of Southern fiction writing has been so powerful that Southern poets have sort of keyed themselves to that.
Robert Morgan
Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry.
Robert Morgan
Some people swear by writing courses, but whether it really helps American poetry, I have doubts.
Robert Morgan
I think that it's more likely that in my 60s and 70s I will be writing poetry rather than fiction.
Robert Morgan
Southern poets are still writing narrative poems, poems in forms, dramatic poems.
Robert Morgan
I don't think the creative writing industry has helped American poetry.
Robert Morgan
Neither of my parents has been very sensitive about my writing.
Robert Morgan
But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper.
Scott Caan
Now my drug is writing or acting, being creative.
Scott Caan
Was it only by dreaming or writing that I could find out what I thought?
Joan Didion
A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason.
Margaret Atwood
Writing fiction is for me a fraught business, an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel, and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.
Joan Didion
No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite.
Federico Fellini
And the nice thing about writing a novel is you take your time, you sit with the character sometimes nine years, you look very deeply at a situation, unlike in real life when we just kind of snap something out.
Sandra Cisneros
