Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.

I think the writing skills of actors are sometimes underestimated.

I think writing is the most underrated thing in Hollywood.

Writers always have confidence issues - it comes with the territory. We never know where we fit in, or what the actual value of our work might be. So we hit lulls, or slogs. Throw in the idea that many creative people are somewhat manic-depressive, and it can get pretty dark at times.

Writers are articulate. Artists find it more difficult.

Writers are so important.

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

Being a screenwriter is not enough for a full creative life.

The writer knows his own worth, and to be overvalued can confuse and destroy him as an artist.

I think writing well takes a little bit of talent and an awful lot of work.
