Quote

There are many more want-to-be writers out there than good editors.

I think writers tend to be experience junkies, and I think they also tend to want to be on the outside looking in.

I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.

I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.

Today, writers want to impress other writers.

What the beautiful-writing writers are most attached to is almost always superfluous.

Writers are very much undervalued in the creative process.

Writers want publicity all the time, and they are always nagging their agents and publishers to give them more publicity, but, when you get it, it's kind of soul-destroying.

Some of the greatest writers in our industry can't get work.

I pay attention to the actors and stuff, but not even that much. I don't pay attention to who's writing.
