Quotes by Writing I love True Blood and Buffy, and, obviously, this is one of my favorite jobs that I've ever had - but not just because it's horror, but because the cast is so good and the writing is so great. Alexandra Breckenridge my-favoritehorrorwriting Water is the ink that writes the poetry of life. Alexandra Cousteau inkwritingwater I try to write my own music. It's a good way of de-stressing. Alexandra Daddario stresswritingtrying I love the idea of directing, I'm not confident enough, but I'm more confident in, well, I'd love to write. I've sort of written my whole life and I think I have a knack for it, so I'd like to write something and see what people think and that would be my first step to directing. Alexandra Daddario writingpeoplethinking What is important is the story. Because when we are all dust and teeth and kicked-up bits of skin - when we're dancing with our own skeletons - our words might be all that's left of us. Alexandra Fuller skeletonsdustwriting There's a point at which writing a book, or a long article, begins to feel like mental labor, and it's too painful to connect in the world in any real way mid-process. The only way to survive is to write until it is all said and done. Alexandra Fuller realwritingbook In love, writing is dangerous, not to mention pointless. Alexandre Dumas french-lovefamous-lovewriting If sitcoms were easy to write, there'd be a lot of good ones, and there aren't. Alexei Sayle sitcomeasywriting I did six series for the BBC and that was enough. I've been writing for ten years, which is more challenging artistically. Alexei Sayle challengeswritingyears I wanted to write about how people's beliefs shift. Alexei Sayle beliefwritingpeople It's always a strange moment when you get up on stage because in a way that's really the fulfilment of what you do, but at the same time when you write from a place that's very personal and quite isolated, at least for me, there's something that almost doesn't feel natural about it. Alexi Murdoch strangewritingway Well, I think every film student goes into film school thinking they want to write and direct their own movies, and they don't realize how much goes into it, and what a process it is. Alexis Bledel writingschoolthinking I write a lot too, so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can. Alexis Bledel directifswriting In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them. Alexis de Tocqueville freedomwritingamerica I try to write each piece in the language of the piece, so that I'm not using the same language from piece to piece. I may be using ten or twenty languages. That multiplicity of language and the use of words is African in tradition. And black writers have definitely taken that up and taken it in. It's like speaking in tongues. It may sound like gibberish to somebody, but you know it's a tongue of some kind. Black people have this. We have the ability as a race to speak in tongues, to dream in tongues, to love in tongues. Alexis De Veaux takendreamwriting In the same way that Shakespeare was writing very much for his time, he was also unearthing observations that would last for generations beyond him. Alexis Denisof generationswritingway I know that I can't ever write a song that just sounds completely saccharin. Even if I'm singing about someone being my complete love life, I'm singing about my own inabilities to be as bright as that person.

But the truth of it is that when you're talking to those people, you don't care about your movie anymore. You just want to hear about what they have gone through. You want all of the details. It's amazing. Alfonso Cuaron realwritingtalking Americans have a hard time writing moms. I'll get a script and everything's really great and well-drawn, but the mom is like stock footage, they go and get that out. They plug it in, this idea of "mother." You could lift moms out of any script, no matter what the culture, what the neighborhood, what the economic status, and you could switch them around, and they'd be the same person. I think it's because most people don't really have a human idea, a specific life that they attach to who their mother was. Their mother was there for them, so it either gets deified, or the opposite. Alfre Woodard mommotherwriting It's been suggested that most women fail to write significantly because the female mind is viscerotonic, and occupied almost exclusively with the moment-to-moment reality of emotions. If this is true, literature's loss is science fiction's gain, for Out of Bounds, Judith Merril's collection of short stories, is a warm and colorful rendering of the minutiae of the future.
