I am an avid reader! As for writing, I might - someday. But we'll have to wait and see.

Quotes by Zosia Mamet

I'm pretty terrible at writing, so the way I kind of therapeutically get through things is by drawing.

Quotes by Zoey Deutch

For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.

Quotes by Zooey Deschanel

I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

Quotes by Zoe Cassavetes

I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.

Quotes by Zoe Kazan

I really, really, really love writing comics.

Quotes by Zoe Quinn

I've always enjoyed gaming, but even as I got older, and I started to get deeper into writing and all this stuff that is my grown-up job, I couldn't play as much as I used to.

Quotes by Zelda Williams

This motion-picture muddle had distracted me from my writing.

Quotes by Zane Grey

What is writing but an expression of my own life?

Quotes by Zane Grey

I did not have one bad spell during writing - an unprecedented record.

Quotes by Zane Grey

Writing was like digging coal. I sweat blood. The spell is on me.

Quotes by Zane Grey

I think what happens with a lot of writing and art is that specificity ends up being relatable while universality becomes vague.

Quotes by Zazie Beetz

I don't want to name any names, but I've worked on television shows where there's a guy writing for my generation who's, like, 60 - and it doesn't work.

Quotes by Zachary Knighton

I didn't necessarily have a total idea when I was writing the movie of where everything was going. I just wanted to have really realistic dialogue and write like people I knew talked. I tried to keep it very real.

Quotes by Zach Braff

You have to determine what you are and send the messages out to people, like, 'Hey, I'm a screenwriter - look at this.' You can't sit around, wondering why people aren't calling and asking about my writing.

Quotes by Zach Galligan

I'd been acting since I was a teenager. I'd come to the point where I was writing my own movies of the week for TV. That was fun.

Quotes by Yvette Mimieux

I don't think a lot of bands and artists work as hard as we do on the creation, on the writing, the arrangements and the recording in our format.

Quotes by Zac Brown

I want less and less control with music. Just playing music without any idea of composition or writing.

Quotes by Yann Tiersen

Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing.

Quotes by Yanni

I do listen to a lot of music, but I don't listen when I'm writing.

Quotes by Yanni

When I use the word 'buzz' in successive sentences, it's clearly time for me to stop writing.

Quotes by Yance Ford

I wanted to be a scientist. I did a thesis on lions. But I realised photography can show things writing can't. Lions were my professor of photography.

Quotes by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

I want to direct films, because I am a painter and a sculptor and I've done a lot of writing.

Quotes by Xander Berkeley

Even when I'm writing plays I enjoy having company and mentally I think of that company as the company I'm writing for.

Quotes by Wole Soyinka

I'm not one of those writers I learned about who get up in the morning, put a piece of paper in their typewriter machine and start writing. That I've never understood.

Quotes by Wole Soyinka

Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. That's what writing is all about.

Quotes by Wislawa Szymborska

I realized later how much my acting experience influenced my writing and how it helped me to write for other actors.

Quotes by Winnie Holzman

All I knew was that I was writing something out of my very guts, and that I was content.

Quotes by Winston Graham

I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.

Quotes by Willie Nelson

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.

Quotes by William Strunk, Jr.

Vigorous writing is concise.

Quotes by William Strunk, Jr.

The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis.

Quotes by William Styron

The writer's duty is to keep on writing.

Quotes by William Styron

Let's face it, writing is hell.

Quotes by William Styron

Writing is a fine therapy for people who are perpetually scared of nameless threats... for jittery people.

Quotes by William Styron

When I was writing the first few books, what I would do is write a bunch of sentences and then go back and expand and explode those sentences, pack as much into them as I could, so they'd kind of be like popcorn kernels popping... all this stuff in there to make the writing dense, and beautiful for its density.

Quotes by William T. Vollmann

Acting is easier - writing is more creative. The lazy man vies with the industrious.

Quotes by William Shatner

Writing or talking about famine and the world's response to it is not very easy.

Quotes by William Shawcross

I like to think I'm writing in the tradition of Raymond Chandler, although I don't ape his style.

Quotes by William Lashner

A sense of place is very important in writing.

Quotes by William Lashner

Writing about identity can be like maneuvering through a minefield, even when considering contemporary figures who have discussed the subject themselves.

Quotes by William J. Mann

I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.

Quotes by William Hague

Getting even is one reason for writing.

Quotes by William H. Gass

I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.

Quotes by William H. Macy

As I travelled around Australia, strangers in pubs, on airplanes, in beach parking lots would bring up Gina Rinehart, not knowing I was writing about her. Everybody had something to say, some of it thoughtful, some of it poorly informed, some of it vividly obscene.

Quotes by William Finnegan

Writing checks for charities is necessary and important. But it can't compare with corporal works of mercy, which are infinitely greater.

Quotes by William E. Simon

David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts, since after all, it's the actors playing the character.

Quotes by William Devane

When I came out of service, the first couple of releases didn't really hit so I just took a little hiatus and sat down to see what was happening. I just glued my ears to the radio and then I started writing - the first hit record that came out was 'Everybody Loves a Winner.'

Quotes by William Bell

The problem with merely writing so that you can be understood is that the wrong people, in advancing their agendas, are only too ready to misunderstand you. Writing so that you cannot be misunderstood anticipates and preempts those who would willfully distort what you are trying to say.

Quotes by William A. Dembski

I mean there are tons of reasons. Well first of all. I write my own record. I don't take other people's materials. And I have a job which is being Willa Ford on top of getting back in the studio and writing and recording.

Quotes by Willa Ford

As for critical writing about modernism, its moments of lucidity are but fulgurations illuminating the dark and incomprehensible landscape of its subject's unabashed difficulty.

Quotes by Will Self

The writing life is essentially one of solitary confinement - if you can't deal with this, you needn't apply.

Quotes by Will Self

Writing songs is a profession; so it's not an attempt to take things from my interactions with other people and for some reason give them to a total stranger to listen to. I find it offensive to hear other people do that.

Quotes by Will Oldham

Definitely, I did not, after 'SNL,' say, 'OK, first I'll go be in Alexander Payne's movie.' I thought I might go back to writing, to be honest.

Quotes by Will Forte

Especially in the last 10 years, the writing on animated shows has jumped by leaps and bounds.

Quotes by Will Friedle

Researching and writing about the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-98 was one of the most exciting and involving projects I've undertaken.

Quotes by Will Hobbs

What I like about writing is the sense of godlike power it gives you.

Quotes by Wilbur Smith

I picked up the writing on the very day he died. It was the only consolation I could find.

Quotes by Wilfrid Sheed

This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended.

Quotes by Wietse Venema

However, writing software without defects is not sufficient. In my experience, it is at least as difficult to write software that is safe - that is, software that behaves reasonably under adverse conditions.

Quotes by Wietse Venema

Writing software that's safe even in the presence of bugs makes the challenge even more interesting.

Quotes by Wietse Venema

For writing stand-up, I have to have a little bit of anger and frustration to be motivated to do it. Stand-up, for me, comes from kind of a hostile engine.

Quotes by Whitney Cummings

I'm not sure what my material would have been if I'd have started earlier. I probably would have started with 'Damsels in Distress' kinds of films because that's the kind of comedy I was writing in college. So I didn't really have any life experience to work off of.

Quotes by Whit Stillman

I always tell students that writing a poem and publishing it are two quite separate things, and you should write what you have to write, and if you're afraid it's going to upset someone, don't publish it.

Quotes by Wendy Cope

I always enjoyed writing music; things pop into my head every day.

Quotes by Wayne Static

I've wanted to do a solo album since 2000 when I was writing songs for the 'Machine' record.

Quotes by Wayne Static

Even in those early years of Static-X, there was a pattern emerging where I would spend all my free time writing songs for Static-X and the other guys in the band spent their free time working on their other projects.

Quotes by Wayne Static

I hate it when bands keep making the same record over and over, so we're pushing ourselves to try new things and experiment in our writing approach.

Quotes by Wayne Static

You get on the radio by writing your own songs. But we had the dilemma of not being able to play anywhere because we weren't able to play anything that anyone wanted to hear. So we learned songs that we thought that we could do without puking.

Quotes by Wayne Kramer

I didn't have any writer friends in college. I was a computer science major, but I was writing a lot, probably more than anybody I knew. I started to submit novels to New York when I was a freshman in college.

Quotes by Watt Key

I started playing video games, and in 1978 I discovered Dungeons & Dragons and started game-mastering and writing my own adventures and creating my own worlds.

Quotes by Warren Spector

Let me tell you, writing comics is as hard as anything I've ever done - for me, at least. I'm now officially in awe of guys who can crank out multiple books a month and maintain a high level of quality. Comics are completely different than any other medium I've dabbled in.

Quotes by Warren Spector

Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.

Quotes by Warren Cuccurullo

Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989.

Quotes by Warren Cuccurullo

The writing of the wise are the only riches our posterity cannot squander.

Quotes by Walter Savage Landor

Take any writer you want in the 19th century: they wrote with quill pens, dipping a piece of goose feather in ink and writing. And yet we read those novels today, and if we're sensitive to them, we respond to them with an immediacy that is stronger than anything written today on a word processor.

Quotes by Walter Murch

Whosoever, in writing a modern history, shall follow truth too near the heels, it may happily strike out his teeth.

Quotes by Walter Raleigh

A writer who isn't writing is asking for trouble.

Quotes by Walter Kirn

I never earned a dollar that was not somehow through writing.

Quotes by Walter Lord

We're writing a book together. She just finished one. Did you read it? Among the Porcupines?

Quotes by Walter Matthau

Early on, it's good to develop the ability to write. Learning to write is a useful exercise, even if what you're writing about is not that relevant.

Quotes by Walter Gilbert

I went to college, though I didn't take many writing courses.

Quotes by Walter Jon Williams

Working within the limitations of the shared world generally made the writing easier, because I didn't have to invent any of the characters or background, which is usually the hardest part.

Quotes by Walter Jon Williams

Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.

Quotes by Walter Benjamin

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.

Quotes by Walter Dean Myers

With my writing, what I want to do is humanize the young people I write about.

Quotes by Walter Dean Myers

However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences - and I stray pretty far from mine - I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.

Quotes by Wally Lamb

I like to be surprised. The best writing is when it defies me, when it starts going a different way than I had planned.

Quotes by Wally Lamb

I like to write first-person because I like to become the character I'm writing.

Quotes by Wally Lamb

I have on my wall right now a front page of the 'Journal' from January 1991, when I co-wrote a front-page story about Iraq firing missiles at Israel. By October, I was writing about tech products.

Quotes by Walt Mossberg

For me, a play is a form of writing which isn't complete until it is interpreted by actors. But it's still a form of writing. And so most of my time is spent thinking about how to write a sentence.

Quotes by Wallace Shawn

Hard writing makes easy reading.

Quotes by Wallace Stegner

Forgive me for not writing but this man is exhausting.

Quotes by Wallis Simpson

When I started writing about art, there were no curators.

Quotes by Waldemar Januszczak

The kind of writing that matters most to me is something you don't learn about. It's constantly coming out of what I don't know rather than what I do know.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

You have to be rather relentless about pushing other things out of the way. This activity of writing, which has no promises attached to it, comes to be given a kind of arbitrary but persistent importance.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

The idea of writing, to me, was, from the beginning, was writing something which was a little different from the ordinary exchange of speech. It was something that had a certain formality, something in which the words were of interest in themselves.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

I can't imagine ever writing anything of any kind on a machine. I never tried to write either poetry or prose on a typewriter. I like to do it on useless paper, scrap paper, because it's of no importance.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

As soon as I could write with a little pencil, I was writing these little hymns and illustrating them, and I thought they should be sung in church, but they never were.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

Quotes by W. Somerset Maugham

Writing is the supreme solace.
