Write me as one that loves his fellow-men.
I don't sit here and dream because I don't care about the future. I wouldn't take nothin' for my past and I've got enough behind me that I can write forever.
'Places to Go' is something that I would never normally write because I would usually be worried with what people would think about me.
I write early in the morning, usually after reading portions of at least half a dozen newspapers on the web.
You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.
In order to play and write, it's unique - you either do one or the other.
Our reward for Starsky and Hutch was getting to write The Six Million Dollar Man for Todd.
I want to write a book which is the history of comedy.
I enjoy bluegrass, folk, gospel, and classical. I don't listen to music when I write. I sometimes listen to music just before I sit down to write.
Though an angel should write, still 'tis devils must print.
When I'm writing a novel, I'm usually just trying to write about things that are interesting to me.
When you write it doesn't occur to you that somebody could think different from what you do.
I have thought for a long time that one day, if I finally got to deserve it, I would love to write about the minds of invertebrates.
I ultimately write for myself and the people I love.
I still write the occasional short story, and poked at a novel once, but it's just not what I want to do.
I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet.
I have grown in my writing and I care about it now and I know how important it is to write stuff.
I did try to write fiction. I wrote 10 novels. And they were all just awful.
Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.
I write when I have to; I write when the song is done and I deal with the idea and I just go with it and I'll become what that song is all about until I have finished it. And when you do that, it makes the song more visual, it makes it more personal.
I don't know why I write really depressing songs. I'm a kind of melancholy guy, I suppose. But I figure I'm about normal.
When I was 11, I knew that I wanted to write a kid's book and tell the world what it was like being deaf.
I write to understand my circumstances, to sort out the confusion of reality, to exorcise my demons. But most of all, I write because I love it!
Someone had my number and they started text-stalking me. I've never replied to them. It was tempting to write back, but I resisted.
My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.
From as far back as I can remember, I always loved the King Arthur stories, fairy tales, mythology - things like that. So it was very natural for me when I came to write the 'Prydain' books to sort of follow that direction.
I said that I'm only there to write the truth, I'm not going to cover anything up, but I'll put everything in context and get as close to the truth of this person as I can.
I can't write songs unless I am in love.
I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.
Writing doesn't come real easy to me. I couldn't write a novel in a year. It wouldn't be readable. I don't let an editor even look at it until the second year, because it would just scare them. I just have to trust that all these scraps and dead-ends will find a way.
The aftermath of the war is what inspired us to write many of our plays. The whole reason for our writing Inherit the Wind was that we were appalled at the blacklisting. We were appalled at thought control.
My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.
In my position you have to read when you want to write and to talk when you would like to read.
We only had a couple of ways for people to hate us on 'X-Files,' including still writing actual fan letters. Now people can instantly tell you, 'Oh my God, I love you,' or 'Oh my God, you are the worst person on the planet.' They actually had to hate you enough or love you enough to write a letter, put a stamp on it and send it.
But I work harder now because I have so much more exposure. And actually the harder you work as a writer, the better you get at it. It's like anything else. It's a muscle you have to exercise. I write more now than ever.
China is completely lacking in self-awareness and as someone who has stepped outside that society, I have a responsibility to write about it as I see it.
