The secret to writing is just to write. Write every day. Never stop writing. Write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. When the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. Write on the police car. Write on the judge. I'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and I keep writing on the writing I wrote. That's my method.

Neil Gaiman

I don't want the books to become PR exercises for the police; I want to have the freedom to write about cops who cross the line: bad cops.

Ian Rankin

People sometimes focus on the red button hot topic issues and I'm, like, you know, who cares about priestly celibacy? I'm thinking about how am I forgiving my enemies? How am I turning the other cheek? How am I loving my neighbor as myself? To me that's 10,000 times more difficult than to say should priests be married or not be married? I'm, like, I think we're wasting all out energies on the wrong thing. Let's work on the most difficult stuff.

Lino Rulli

With '3 Mics', there's nothing I'm talking about that's too hot button.

Neal Brennan

If you gonna challenge my ways, know my history. Don't put nobody in my face that don't know about me, or they here to write an article on someone they thought was hot when they was hot. Come on, man. I been hot.

Raekwon

Is political discourse still just shouting opinions about subjective, hot-button issues based on poor understanding and outright ignorance about which agreements can never be reached?

Jeffrey Rowland

Everything in high school was reversed. If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, "The cops, the cops, the cops..." I was what you call the buzz kill.

Val Kilmer

I don't want to make vast generalizations about people who go into legal professions, but there are similarities in the barristers that I met and interacted with, in the sense that they tend to be highly eloquent, highly analytical, thinking people who have a very rapid-fire think-before-they-speak button, as it were.

Rebecca Hall

When I'm looking for hot button answers to tough questions, I don't look to congressman or my mayor. I say, 'What would Miss U.S.A. have to say about this?'

Dane Cook

What I always liked about 'Sunny' whenever it approached any sort of hot-button issue is that, ultimately, what the characters felt about it could change at any given instant depending on what benefited them the most personally.

Megan Ganz

When you're writing about cops from the perspective of cops, that level of sarcasm about their job and how they treat people will color the writing to a certain extent.

Cheo Hodari Coker

I'm not talking about a "show me other walls of this thing" button, I mean a "stumble" button for wallbase.

William Wordsworth

Why aren't there enough black cops out there? We need black cops to come in and educate some of the white cops who have issues.

Michael Ealy

There's a bigger percentage of good cops than bad cops. But the bad cops should be penalised like regular people.

Michael Pena

For the most part, cops are decent and honorable, but that's how I know that there are bad cops, cops that you think you know so well.

Nancy Grace

Anytime you see Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West. Anytime a young black person's doing good, that's motivation for everybody else. Anytime, anytime, it's motivation. Use that fuel to push you forward. That's what I did.
