I guess when I was younger, I'd have assumed that in 2008 music would be full of great writers following in the tradition of the young great writers of the '60s and '70s, but it hasn't turned out that way, or at least there are no other writers around that I look at and think: 'Wow, I'm outclassed, I need to get out of this business.'

David Berman

Can anyone tell me what Jon Jones was ranked when he fought for the UFC title? No one knows. I believe, in that aspect, it was easier to get fights back then. It wasn't, 'What's this guy ranked?' You fought, made your money, and went home.

Kamaru Usman

A great danger, or at least a great temptation, for many writers is to become too autobiographical in their approach to their fiction. A little autobiography and a lot of imagination are best.

Raymond Carver

I'm chasing belts. I'm highly ranked, and after I beat Chisora, I should be No. 1 with at least four of the governing bodies.

Dillian Whyte

The reality is we are still ranked 10th and we are playing a team ranked second in the world who are playing at the top of their game and are at home.

Dav Whatmore

If you really look at the sport, when the No. 1 ranked fighter beats the No. 2 ranked fighter, the only thing that's up next for him is a title fight.

T.J. Dillashaw

I need to take fights, and I expect to win all my fights, whether it's higher ranked or lower ranked.

Robert Whittaker

Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.

Aaron Sorkin

Writers, at least writers of fiction, are always full of anxiety and worry.

Peter Carey

No disrespect to Ugas. He's a great fighter, and he's ranked in the IBF, so I'm gonna have to fight him. But, you know, I'm looking to build my legacy and me beating Ugas is not gonna get me anywhere.

Errol Spence Jr.

There are writers who are great visionaries, who can depict huge movements - things like that. They're the great writers. I'm just the other kind.

Leonard Cohen

I've read many great samples, both of existing shows I liked and original pilots, and definitely hired the writers - or, at least, tried to!

Nahnatchka Khan

If someone said at the end of 2016 that I'd be ranked No.1 in England, have three titles and be ranked top ten in the world at the end of 2017, I would have said probably not.

Anthony Yarde

I don't think of gay writers. I mean if you were to say to me who are the straight writers, well, you wouldn't ask me that question. So for me to identify a little tribe of gay writers, I don't know.

Joe Mantello

Not being a natural songwriter... for me the appreciation of a great song and the writers came early on, growing up in a musical family. My dad got to sing songs by some of the greatest writers of all time, Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Bonnie Raitt

That 'writers write' is meant to be self-evident. People like to say it. I find it is hardly ever true. Writers drink. Writers rant. Writers phone. Writers sleep. I have met very few writers who write at all.
