I wanted to write ordsprog

I wanted to write a page-turner, but I wanted, at the end of the day, people to learn some things from the book, in a very painless way, of what it's really like,

Barbara Boxer (1940-)

I just wanted to write books I wanted to write, ... There's no writer who has not had enough ego to hope something he or she wrote would be seized on by the public -- that something they write will last beyond them. But hoping and expecting are two different things. Expecting would be beyond ego.

I met with Ted during that same period and supposedly he was very unhappy, but he was very focused, had lots of ideas, lots of things he wanted to get done. I think in this world there's some confusion about roles. There shouldn't be. Ted Turner is Ted Turner. Ted Turner is going to do what he was doing on a broader canvas, in terms of having division of this company and division of the assets he knows something about as well as contributing to the other assets...I think he's very valuable to us and every interaction I've had with Ted has been very positive.

I wanted to write a beautiful book that was useful to other people who find themselves in the same position.

All the great people learn from the people before them. Chris took one approach and did things the way he wanted to do it. Carl took a completely different approach and did the things the way he wanted to do it. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, just a different approach.

Through the years, people said, 'You should write a book.' I was like., 'What about?' All of a sudden, I had something to write about. So you ask yourself, 'Who is this for? Is this a money-making venture?' You kind of have a blank slate in terms of all those thoughts. You realize you're not going to make a lot of money on it. You decide you're writing it for your own sense of satisfaction. I just wanted one published copy in my hands.

A small publishing house is sometimes the way to go. I wanted somebody who would publish my book and care about my book. I wanted somebody to know my book and always remember it, and I found one. They take an interest in what you do. If they are committed to accept your book, then they are committed to you.

Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write a book so when the reader gets to the end of the chapter, he or she must turn one more page.

Sidney Sheldon (1917-)

I had to learn to kind of let things go in one ear and out the other. It was kind of tough as a young player. I knew what I was capable of. Once '03 came around, I was tired of it. I wanted to shut some people up, and I wanted to have a big year.

I love the way the shrinkage of the [ice] floe imposes this tightening dramatic focus to the action. They are being forced closer together even as they are trying to pull further apart. I like to think of it as an adventure story for adults rather than a Hardy Boys type thing. I sort of avoided the genre of historical fiction in the past because I always thought of it as a sub-genre and I knew it could easily lend itself to either costume drama or boyish adventure. I wanted it to be more complicated thematically and intellectually but I also wanted it to be a page-turner. He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible.

I was raised to ignore it. It was something my mother's generation saw as an embarrassment. It was corny and archaic and not pushed as something an up-and-coming musician wanted to learn. My mother wanted me to write Broadway shows.

I have a deep feeling for Kashmir, and I just had to write this book, ... [But] it's very hard to write about real events. It becomes unbearable. The challenge in writing this book was: how do you write about these things bearably without sweetening the pill?

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

I opened it at page 96 - the secret page on which I write my name to catch out borrowers and book-sharks.

Flann O'Brien (1911-)

How do you write a children's book? Keep it simple. We've come to learn that people really take to messages. They believe in the things that we say, especially kids with siblings. We want to be role models and we know that our biggest power doesn't come from being football players. It comes from helping people understand the right ideals.

I just wanted to learn while I was there to read and write as well as I could, ... I figured once you learn those skills, you're just going to look for what medium you want to use to do it.
