I love being a writer. I don't really want to do anything else!
It is true that short forms of poetry have been cultivated in the Far East more than in modern Europe; but in all European literature short forms of poetry are to be found - indeed quite as short as anything in Japanese.
I wrote 'Don't Look Back' in November 2011, and when I wrote the novel, it wasn't contracted, so there was a freedom in that - no expectations or anything like that. It was also my first contemporary novel I'd written and sold, which was to Disney/Hyperion in January of 2012.
I still don't know anything about drugs, or who takes them, or what happens.
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.
I think the hardest thing is losing weight. That's the hardest thing more than anything else.
I will make a general statement that we have not had anything like the policy of holding people in high office responsible for their acts that I think we should.
I'm an athlete rep, so I'll be available if they need me for anything.
On a bus ride through China, my family and I had talked for hours before a police officer boarded to conduct an inspection. My mother and brother couldn't speak Chinese, so they pretended to be deaf and mute, and none of the Chinese passengers said anything, sparing us.
My James Bond wasn't any different to my Saint or my Persuaders or anything else I've done. I've just made everything that I play look like me and sound like me.
And he said that he didn't want to have a war or anything like that again.
I went out to some advertising agencies and asked if I could do anything.
If I had my own Neverland it would probably be the coolest place in the world. You could do anything you want there. There would be trees everywhere.
If anything, game development is even more of a team effort than making a movie, so for individuals to get credit for making a game is absolutely insane.
It is hard to imagine Thomas Kinkade as anything less than supremely self-assured.
Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.
If I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.
I was blacklisted because of this activity, so I'm not a typical anything.
Anything in which you're playing someone real does make you feel responsible for making the story as true as it can be.
When I read something saying I've not done anything as good as 'Catch-22' I'm tempted to reply, 'Who has?'
I quit comics because I got completely sick of it. I was drawing comics all the time and didn't have the time or energy to do anything else. That got to me in the end.
The fact that Disney bought Maker Studios doesn't really change anything for me.
I don't want anything to do with anything mechanical between me and the paper, including a typewriter, and I don't even want a fountain pen between me and the paper.
Looking back I find it hard to believe that I could forge a career in anything other than football but I didn't do too badly in my final exams and there were a few business-related courses that interested me.
My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.
Honestly, I'm not a big person in terms of religion, but I really believe in nature. I feel like anytime you see anything beautiful in nature that's the closest I'm ever going to get to God or a sense of a higher power.
Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.
If there's anything you absolutely hate, why, it must be unconstitutional. Or, if there's anything you absolutely have to have, it must be required by the Constitution. That's where we are. That is utterly mindless.
I always have to just be myself. Anything else, I'm not happy, and it comes out musically.
There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
If I'm uncomfortable on stage, everybody can see it. I'm not very good at hiding it. I like long, loose jacket dresses - anything that I can literally have room to move in - not that I'm a very big dancer, but because sometimes I'm sitting down at the keyboard, and then sometimes I'm standing. It just has to feel good.
I don't regret anything I ever do or say. I don't like to live my life being censored. I like to say what I feel, and I think people respect that because you're honest.
I think the only boundaries are individual and personal. A writer should be free to write about anything he or she wants to, including the twin towers. I have made small references to 9/11 in my past two books.
When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.
Online journalism has always had a sourcing problem. From using unverified 'anonymous tips' to repeating whatever rumor or speculation people are chattering about, the general ethic is, 'We'll publish just about anything.'
Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to them.
