He's a failed Hollywood ordsprog

He's a failed Hollywood writer in his 50s and he's going back to Phoenix to address a problem he has with his father. This is where I think [writer/director] Bob Dolman has been really clever.

Geoffrey Rush (1951-)

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.

That's one thing I like about Hollywood. The writer is there revealed in his ultimate corruption. He asks no praise, because his praise comes to him in the form of a salary check. In Hollywood the average writer is not young, not honest, not brave, and a bit overdressed. But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good.

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

'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.

For about two weeks I wanted be a director, then I got wise to that, ... I changed my emphasis from directing to writing, because when you're a director you need actors, equipment. Being a writer you need a pen and paper; there's no overhead.

Andrew Stanton, the writer and director of

That did happen. He may have made a connection with Perry, but Truman was ultimately a writer. A writer trying to get the story.

He's a great writer, but he's also the first writer-celebrity. His story as an expatriate and as an adventurer competes with his work.

A writer should be joyous, an optimist... Anything that implies rejection of life is wrong for a writer.

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-)

Han följer aldrig massorna eller jublar med dem. Den författare som är en äkta författare är en rebell som aldrig slutar.

He neither walks with the multitude nor cheers with them. The writer who is a real writer is a rebel who never stops.

It did not occur to me that I might be a writer until I flunked out of my first year as a chemistry major, and found work as an apprentice writer of Volkswagen ads.

I probably am a cranky writer, but I am actually a fairly nice, normal person. Since I'm a grouchy writer, of course I have friends whose books are doing way better than mine.
