Writing has been as difficult for me as for people who don't like to write and as little fun.

I've always said the hardest aspect of the job of being a writer is writing.

You can't be a storyteller and a speechwriter at the same time.

Writing is a marvelous adventure and very labor-intensive: those words run away and try to escape. They are very difficult to capture.

I think the only way you can become a writer is through honing your voice, creating your own voice.

Writing is boring, very boring, and it takes so much patience.

I don't know about other writers, but for myself, to write I must be relatively quiet - it's very difficult to write with the telephone and the doorbell ringing and conversation going on; I'm not that good a writer to write through all that!

I would say it's not as hard as writing, because when you're a writer, you walk right into the pit all by yourself, but when you're a director, there are at least 80 people who scream, 'Don't do that!' when you make a mistake.

I enjoyed writing for someone else's voice, but I wasn't very good at it.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.
