Quotes about writ
writing ideas want
I want less and less control with music. Just playing music without any idea of composition or writing. Yann Tiersen
writing giving feelings
My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn't have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I'm a technician too. I wouldn't be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn't write it well, and the cameraman didn't shoot it well. Yash Chopra
writing ifs direct
I'm afraid that I'm either going to have to write myself something or direct something if I'm going to get somewhere. Yaphet Kotto

writing thinking artist
I think from my earliest childhood, I liked to tell stories, put on plays and write things. It's funny to think of it as an "artistic bug" because I didn't necessarily want to be an artist. It's just who I was and how I communicate. Zoe Kazan
writing down-and force
Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.

writing healthy noise
And it's just anathema to being a writer. It's not healthy. But in another way, when I'm writing, what it's about for me is being good on the page. None of that noise could change the way I feel about my writing. Which is not always particularly positive. Zadie Smith
writing voice people
Every genuinely literary style, from the high authorial voice to Foster Wallace and his footnotes-within-footnotes, requires the reader to see the world from somewhere in particular, or from many places. So every novelist's literary style is nothing less than an ethical strategy - it's always an attempt to get the reader to care about people who are not the same as he or she is.
writing way eliminating
Writing is my way of expressing - and thereby eliminating - all the various ways we can be wrong-headed.
writing talking honest
I'm most honest about writing when I'm talking to family or friends, not to newspapers.
writing thinking people
I wouldn't write about people who are living and who are close to me, because I think it's a very violent thing to do to another person. And anytime I have done it, even in the disguise of fiction, the results have been horrific.
writing thinking years
I just realized quite early on that I'm not going to be the type who can write a novel every two years. I think you need to feel an urgency about the act. Otherwise, when you read it, you feel no urgency, either. So I don't write unless I really feel I need to, and that's a luxury.
writing thinking feels-just
Sometimes I think my whole professional life has been based on this hunch I had, early on, that many people feel just as muddled as I do, and might be happy to tag along with me on this search for clarity, for precision. I love that aspect of writing. Nothing makes me happier than to hear a reader say: that’s just what I’ve always felt, but you said it clearly.
writing world duty
A writer's duty is to register what it is like for him or her to be in the world.
