One would think that in writing about literary men and matters there would be no difficulty in finding a title for one's essay, or that any embarrassment which might arise would be from excess of material. I find this, however, far from being the case.

Man könnte denken, dass es beim Schreiben über literarische Männer und andere Dinge keine Schwierigkeiten geben würde, einen Titel für einen Aufsatz zu finden, oder dass jegliche Peinlichkeit, die sich daraus ergeben könnte, aus einem Übermaß an Material besteht. Ich finde das jedoch keineswegs der Fall.

Because work takes up a lot of time, you have to choose your moments for really letting rip. I hang out with my friends and my family and I spend time with my kids when I'm not working. They don't see my being an actor as exotic. For them, it's just an everyday thing. Sometimes it's amusing to them and other times, embarrassing.

I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library.

I love getting out the house because writing is such a solitary business that even being at the library makes me feel part of the world.

Acting is a general thing; it's not like being a primary artist like a painter or writer which stands the test of time. I don't think acting stands the test of time, but it can capture the mood of the moment, which is in itself very exciting, but it rarely lasts.

Ellie Goulding

If you look across the valley, you can see exactly what I mean: about four beautiful houses, and you think something is happening in each of them. It's like a mural.

Jilly Cooper

Once I began college, I was committed to writing, which I think is different from saying I wanted to become a writer. I knew I would always write; I just wasn't always sure how I would go about doing so.
