John Irving Zitate

I don't think I've had a very interesting life, and I feel that is a great liberation. That gives me great freedom as a fiction writer. Nothing that happened holds any special tyranny over me.

Ich glaube nicht, dass ich ein sehr interessantes Leben gehabt habe, und ich denke, dass dies eine große Befreiung ist. Das gibt mir große Freiheit als Schriftsteller. Nichts, was passiert ist, hält eine besondere Tyrannei über mich.

Most people write a lot of autobiography, but when I came to write autobiography I discovered that nothing interesting had ever happened to me. So I had to take the situation and invent stories to go with it.

W. P. Kinsella

I've had a great life. It was exciting. I worked with the most interesting people, and I traveled all over the country.

When you're in between the white lines, the game face is on. I was only focused on the task at hand - out, safe, ball, strike - leaving little time to think about how special a player, moment or game happened to be.

You have to live what you write, or you have to know it. There are exceptions, like story songs, where you just have to have your facts straight. But I think you don't have to live a hard life to be a good or interesting songwriter.

Justin Townes Earle

I feel I have had a very interesting life, but I am rather hoping there is still more to come. I still haven't captained the England cricket team, or sung at Carnegie Hall!

Jeffrey Archer

The fiction writer in me likes gaps in stories because I can jump into that gap and try to suggest something.

To be honest with you, there's nothing that bores me more than sitting around with a bunch of actors talking shop. I love actors and I've got friends that are actors. They're interesting people. But for some reason, usually when it comes round to talking shop, there's a part of me that doesn't like it.
