Something happened when the memoirs of so-called ordinary people, like myself, suddenly hit the bestseller list.

Frank McCourt

Grub Street Writers is the reason I've stayed in Boston. I started teaching for Grub back in 1997, when founder Eve Bridburg, a Boston University M.A. alumna, as I am, kindly gave me my first job out of grad school.

You can look at the New York Times Bestseller List and you can be pretty sure that the writers on that list don't know each other very well.

Anne Rice

Why the fairy tale of Willie Mays making a brilliant World Series catch, and then dashing off to play stickball in the street with his teenage pals. That's baseball. So is the husky voice of a doomed Lou Gehrig saying, 'I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.'

Ernie Harwell

Why the fairy tale of Willie Mays making a brilliant World Series catch, and then dashing off to play stickball in the street with his teenage pals. That’s baseball. So is the husky voice of a doomed Lou Gehrig saying, ‘I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.’

Ernie Harwell

I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. I have spent a lifetime doing what I love.

Len Wein

When' Voyager', the third book of the series, hit the 'New York Times' bestseller list, they very honorably redesigned the covers and started calling them fiction.

Diana Gabaldon

I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

Lou Gehrig

I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the history of show business.

Dick Wolf

I don't know a lot of writers, even writers who have been on the bestseller list for a few weeks, or writers who have gotten movie options, who can live on just their writing income. Once you break it down to the years it took to write the book, place it, promote it, and you pay the agent, pay the taxes, the annual income is not enough to live on comfortably. I do not have a starving artist inclination. I'm from the working class. I don't feel creative unless I feel like my house is going to be there and I'm going to be fed. I can't worry about money and write. Maybe some people can.

Debra Monroe

I very much enjoy reading other writers' diaries, mainly because it makes me ask myself: Are they like you? How do they think?

Orhan Pamuk

I gotta say, as the father of two beautiful young daughters, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

Steve Schirripa

I think all writers are mainly writing for themselves because I believe that most writers are writing based on a need to write. But at the same time, I feel that writers are, of course, writing for their readers, too.

Amy Bloom

A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate - these are the folks who reap the largest rewards.

Ben Bernanke

When 'Twilight' hit the New York Times bestseller list at number 5, for me that was the pinnacle, that was the moment. I never thought I would be there. And I keep having moments like that where you just stop and say, wait a minute - how is this still going up? I'm waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me.

Stephenie Meyer

The bestseller list is the tip of the iceberg.
