Schriftsteller / Writers Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Schriftsteller / Writers:

I know that some books and some writers, you can pretty much draw a square around it and say, 'Nobody under 40,' or 'Nobody under 25.' With my books, it always has been, and continues to be, spread right across the board, and I think the operative term is 'reader.' Margaret Atwood

I'm pleased to have outsold great writers. But I'm not insane - I realize I am a writer people buy to take on vacation.

Maeve Binchy

I think everything we do, on one level or another, as writers, most of our writing is informed by our world view.

Ted Dekker

Because I work in television, I always knew that I loved working with writers. It's very collaborative. You're always in a room full of writers.

Melissa Rosenberg

I regard the 'Descendants' as a melodrama, and all scenes have been the trappings to increase the element of romance, I thought. In that sense, I am very satisfied and have great respect for the decisions of the writers.

Song Joong-ki

I know of a few writers who are husband and wife teams.

Sylvia Day

I feel like I am walking in some amazing footsteps of writers who have come before me, like S.E. Hinton, Walter Dean Myers, Christopher Paul Curtis, Richard Peck and Kate DiCamillo, who I love.

Jacqueline Woodson

Certain writers look down their noses at plot, and I think I might have been one of them until I tried it.

Patrick deWitt

The writers are the stars of every really successful sitcom.

Betty White

Nobody thinks mystery writers go around killing people, but they always seem to assume singers are singing about themselves, especially if you write melancholy songs like me.

Del Shannon

Writers would submit scripts to me, and if I liked one well enough to submit to magazine editors, I had the know-how whether the story was good or bad.

Julius Schwartz

I wanted to be a writer from my early teenage years, but I never told anyone. Writers, in my opinion, were god-like creatures, and to say I was striving to be a writer would be incredibly arrogant.

Tim Cahill

To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.

Dino De Laurentiis

One should take writers' valuations of their own work with a pinch of salt: they are likely to rank them differently tomorrow.

Howard Jacobson

The soles of the best writers, a professor once told me, are worn down to holes. This is an incomplete measure, but the image of a writer grinding his or her shoes against curbs and cobblestones stuck with me. The story is always out there, the details around the corner or down the alley.

David Ebershoff

Great writers probably shouldn't be ranked, at least not by me.

Anthony Doerr

Everything important in sci-fi showed up in the magazines first. It's the proving ground for new writers and new ideas.

Orson Scott Card

Quite a lot is required of writers these days in terms of, if not promoting the work, then being a representative of the work. It's a difficult thing, really.

Sarah Hall

I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.

Zoe Kazan

There are a few writers that one has a relationship with that means, basically, you do whatever they say. One is Caryl Churchill, and the other is David Hare.

Stephen Daldry

Science fiction writers aren't fortune tellers. Fortune tellers are fakes.

William Gibson

In the writers' room, when we talk about each episode, we first talk about the character journey of the episode.

Marc Guggenheim

Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description, as science writers, but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers, you see, but we're also realists, of a sort.

William Gibson

Many writers today are wanderers. There is not only an unhousedness in language - how to convey, to say nothing of converge - but an unhousedness of place.

Joy Williams

People look down on it, but I love the community of horror. Writers and directors are a tight group of people, and we help and support each other.

Jason Blum

I am one of the writers who wish to create serious works of literature which dissociate themselves from those novels which are mere reflections of the vast consumer cultures of Tokyo and the subcultures of the world at large.

Kenzaburo Oe

I do have a lot of time for people in my life, and friendship is a very important subject for me. I think I'm unusual among the writers I know in that respect.

Salman Rushdie

My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being.

Wole Soyinka

I'm definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers. I know that there's some actors who like to be left alone, they like to be very independent, but I actually really enjoy the teamwork.

Summer Glau

Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.

Sinclair Lewis

My best advice for writers is: Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly - all these make for great stories.

Chuck Palahniuk

I knew I would read all kinds of books and try to get at what it is that makes good writers good. But I made no promises that I would write books a lot of people would like to read.

Carl Sandburg

This homage has been rendered not to me - for the Polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me - but to the Polish achievement, the Polish genius.

Henryk Sienkiewicz

It is very true to say that work done by writers is quite often an attempt to give solid expression to that which is bothering them... They feel they have got it right if they express the stress.

Seamus Heaney

George was getting alot of independence for himself in those days. He was writing more, and wanted things to go his way - where, when we first started things basically went John and Paul's way. You know, 'cuz they were the writers.

Ringo Starr

I tell writers to keep reading, reading, reading. Read widely and deeply. And I tell them not to give up even after getting rejection letters. And only write what you love.

Anita Diament

The great writers of aphorisms read as if they had all known each other well.

Elias Canetti
