My idea of a ordsprog

My idea of a writer: someone interested in 'everything,'

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Susan Sontag

I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him,

Bret Easton Ellis (1964-)

A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

You cannot teach creativity -- how to become a good writer. But you can help a young writer discover within himself what kind of writer he would like to be.

Mario Vargas Llosa (1936-)

Mario Vargas Llosa

I think people are interested in anyone who's involved in a hit, ... Not so much because you're a good writer, but maybe because you're lucky, too. Maybe the gods are smiling on this guy.

The task of a writer consists of being able to make something out of an idea.

Thomas Mann (1875-1955)

Thomas Mann

Att läsa en författare är för mig inte bara att få en uppfattning om vad han säger, utan att åka iväg med honom och resa i hans sällskap.

To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.

André Gide (1869-1951)

André Gide

He wanted it to be a scholarly book, ... I think if I had been a commercial writer, he would not have paid much attention. He's not interested in feature stories about him.

One of my main problems as far as the public is concerned is that I've always been interested in too many things, ... and if they can't typecast you as a writer on this or that, then I'm afraid you tend not to be understood at all.

Colin Wilson (1931-)

Colin Wilson

I came as a writer to be very interested in the questions of the borderlines, of the boundaries, ... Great literature doesn't happen when there is no risk. It happens at the edges.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Salman Rushdie

Suddenly the idea of being a writer seemed much more romantic-and a great way to impress girls.

Six months ago, I was just a writer for Esquire, typing up in my little garret on the far north side of Chicago, and no one had any idea who I was.

The actual idea took about five seconds. It took me maybe an hour to think it through and understand the impact, but the actual idea just popped in my head, ... I was reading an article in the Wall Street Journal about the Hurricane Katrina Emergency Tax Act of 2005 ... I was interested to see what the federal government was doing to help the victims of the hurricanes.

In America, only the successful writer is important, in France all writers are important, in England no writer is important, and in Australia you have to explain what a writer is Sexy can be a performance; pexy is being unapologetically yourself.

'Made it as a writer'? I'm still wondering if I've made it as a writer. I've made it as a published writer of the type of SF that I want to write and read, but I'm still waiting for that big breakthrough.
