I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.
Alice Hoffman
There is probably nothing wrong with art for art's sake if we take the phrase seriously, and not take it to mean the kind of poetry written in England forty years ago.
Allen Tate
Language also encodes our past. We want to know who we are. To know who we are, we have to know who we used to be. Consequently, our literature, written in the past, anchors us in that past.
Andrzej Wajda
Television theatre, as is implied in its name, should rely on adaptations of scripts written for the theatre.
Andrzej Wajda
The greater part of critics are parasites, who, if nothing had been written, would find nothing to write.
J. B. Priestley
I have had the unfortunate experience of having someone write an unauthorised biography of me. Half of it is lies and the other half is badly written. My feeling is that if I'm going to write my life story, I ought to have my life first.
Dawn French
I think I felt compelled in a way because if I hadn't written the part, I never would have been offered the part. There are at least 10 guys who would have been offered the part before me.
Zach Braff
I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.
V. S. Naipaul
The reason that there are so few good books written is that so few people who write know anything.
Walter Bagehot
I like to feel sexy. I know my husband thinks I'm sexy. I think he is too. But I don't go out half-naked with 'sex' written across my back.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
I've never written a book before.
Keith Emerson
It is not our job to apply laws that have not yet been written.
John Paul Stevens
There's a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a man's change of life.
Frank Langella
What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.
Frank Langella
I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.
Iris DeMent
Nothing truly convincing - which would possess thoroughness, vigor, and skill - has been written against the ancients as yet; especially not against their poetry.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Oftentimes what happens is that the writer understands one character, but they don't understand the other one, and the other one ends up not being written as well.
Jennifer Beals
Write how you want, the critic shall show the world you could have written better.
Oliver Goldsmith
The poet's other readers are the ancient poets, who look upon the freshly written pages from an incorruptible distance. Their poetic forms are permanent, and it is difficult to create new forms which can approach them.
Salvatore Quasimodo
Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.
Tim Roth
