You can't write well what you don't read for pleasure. If it doesn't entertain you, it's not going to entertain anyone else.

Nora Roberts

I like to write books that touch my heart. I want to entertain, and I love to entertain myself.

The Polar Express was the easiest of my picture book manuscripts to write... Once I realized the train was going to the North Pole, finding the story seemed less like a creative effort than an act of recollection. I felt, like the storys narrator, that I was remembering something, not making it up.

Dorothy Garlock

Believe it or not, I write on stage. I can't write anywhere else; I have to be in a moment. I also have to challenge myself to make something funny out of a premise. I never have my own jokes written. I have to change things as I go along, and I have to entertain myself.

J. B. Smoove

We just want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Be true to ourselves and make the best music we can. Entertain people which is what we were put on this Earth for.

Steve Porcaro

I say if you don't write your lyrics, then you can't be the best rapper alive. Not at all. You can be one of the best artists, especially in rap, you gotta write everything yourself.

DJ Premier

My best days do seem like a distillation of all that was best about school. Write a story! Paint a picture! Write a poem! Make a print!

Mark Haddon
