I always write in pencil, so I can erase.

I always tell people that my life is in pencil; I have to keep an eraser in my hand because I could always get a call that could change everything.

I don't want boys to use their pencils for improper writing.

I'm the sort of person who doesn't write in ink. I only write in pencil, so it can be rubbed out.

Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.

If you get stuck, draw with a different pen. Change your tools; it may free your thinking.

The worst thing you can do is censor yourself as the pencil hits the paper. You must not edit until you get it all on paper. If you can put everything down, stream-of-consciousness, you'll do yourself a service.
