Will Smith quotes about
I'm very aware when I'm speaking to the English of how flat my Mid-Atlantic American voice is.
If you take the contempt some Americans have for yuppies and multiply it by 10 you might come close to understanding their attitude towards the City, as they call it - London, the people of the south.
I have another Russian idea, too, with a place and a period, so I guess I have enough to keep me busy for quite some time, especially considering that I'm such a slow writer.
The research is the most interesting part… That’s how I work. I go some place and I walk it and I talk to people until I find what I’ve come for. Or not. Fortunately, I tend to find what I’m after.
I used to be treated like an idiot, now I'm treated like an idiot savant.
The great thing about being a writer is that you are always recreating yourself.
Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.
The main question to a novel is -- did it amuse? were you surprised at dinner coming so soon? did you mistake eleven for ten? were you too late to dress? and did you sit up beyond the usual hour? If a novel produces these effects, it is good; if it does not -- story, language, love, scandal itself cannot save it. It is only meant to please; and it must do that or it does nothing.
The thing about performance, even if it's only an illusion, is that it is a celebration of the fact that we do contain within ourselves infinite possibilities.
If you want to improve your understanding, drink coffee.
Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.
A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.
No furniture is so charming as books.
I always fear that creation will expire before teatime.
