Writers since at least the heyday of Gore Vidal have bemoaned their audience's defection to other forms of entertainment.

Garth Risk Hallberg

'Empire of Self' is a loving portrait of a very difficult man. Jay Parini, himself a gifted novelist, poet and biographer, has gone very deep into the 'black energy' of Gore Vidal's relentless narcissism and megalomania. Parini envisions an epic battle between Vidal's angelic and demonic sides, yet there's very little of the angel in Vidal.

Jerome Charyn

There will be a debate on Firing Line between Buckley and Gore Vidal on the proposition: "This nation cannot survive as long as the income of 50 percent of the population is below the median." Mr. Vidal will take the affirmative.

M. Stanton Evans

Gore Vidal, the American writer, once described the American economic system as 'free enterprise for the poor and socialism for the rich'. Macroeconomic policy on the global scale is a bit like that. It is Keynesianism for the rich countries and monetarism for the poor.

Ha-Joon Chang

A couple of years ago my friend and business partner Jeffrey Richards was doing the Gore Vidal play, The Best Man, starring James Earl Jones. I asked Jeffrey out to lunch and asked him what he thought of James playing Grandpa in You Can't Take It With You. Jeffrey thought it was a fabulous idea and so did James.

Chris Hart

I'm not Gore Vidal or William Buckley.

Lawrence Sanders

I used to read Gore Vidal books and think I was cool.

Matt Smith

I loved Gore Vidal's Burr. That book gave me courage.

Hilary Mantel

They don't make people like Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley anymore.

Morgan Neville

I read Noam Chomsky. I like some of Gore Vidal's stuff.

John Cusack

Chris Martin's a good friend of mine. I'm actually Apple's godfather. He's an old friend and we've been mates for quite a few years now.

Simon Pegg

You know, back in 2000 a Republican friend of mine warned me that if I voted for Al Gore and he won, the stock market would tank, we'd lose millions of jobs, and our military would be totally overstretched. You know what: I did vote for Al Gore, he did win, and I'll be damned if all those things didn't come true.

James Carville

One of the greatest punsters of all time, Peter Serafinowicz, is a good friend of mine, and I've been in situations more than once where people have been exhausted hanging around with him.

Will Arnett

We lived in a classless society. We'd spend a summer at Gore Vidal's house in Italy, but we were on and off welfare.

Gaby Hoffmann

I always want to read Gore Vidal's nonfiction. Because everything he writes is an essay and it's worth reading.

Frederick Busch

Be wary of feeling as through there is not enough room at the table. Oftentimes a female Chinese-American might feel as through she is in competition with another Chinese-American woman writer of the same generation. A writer friend of mine calls it the "There Can Only Be One ..." syndrome. This isn't "Survivor." The more good writers, of all walks of life and all ethnicities and persuasions, the better.
