“Do you want to be a writer, and speak to others and for others? Speak first for yourself. Search within. Consider the contents of your own soul. Your humanity. And if you're honest with yourself, then whatever you write, all is true.”
Sir Kenneth Branagh - William Shakespeare

“I thought all writers drank to excess and beat their wives. One time I secretly wanted to be a writer.”
Cary Grant - C. K. Dexter Haven

“I don't put much faith in scientific terms. I leave that to the fakers and the writers of books.”

Claude Rains - Dr. Jaquith

“Most of us keep that inner-being lock up, hidden away. A fiction writer doesn't have to do that. He doesn't have to hide it. He doesn't have to keep it from anything. He can let it out, bring it out into the open. Let it live, let it breathe.”

Timothy Hutton - Thad Beaumont

“How am I going to become a writer if I don't know how to suffer?”
Jonathan Silverman - Eugene Morris Jerome
