A Quote by Greg Daniels

There are Michael Scott moments, which are character choices, but there are also Steve's reads. Usually the things that I'm the biggest fan of are these weird reads that he does - just the way he's interacting with other people.
On a daily basis, you're working with Steve Carell; you're not working with Ricky Gervais. You try a line, and you can't be writing for David Brent. You have to be writing for Michael Scott because Steve is Michael Scott.
What can i tell you about the choices we make? Fate reads like the polar opposite of decision, and so much of life reads like fate.
An exile reads change the way he reads time, memory, self, love, fear, beauty: in the key of loss.
I'm not somebody that opens a playbook and just turns and reads and reads. That doesn't do it for me.
I very much hope that when my wife reads my writings so she reads it as if she is a character and not the real one. Sometimes she takes it too personally.
After all, what is reading but a vice, like drink or venery or any other form of excessive self-indulgence? One reads to tickle and amuse one's mind; one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.
The family of Keith Scott viewed the police video and it`s worth repeating that afterward the family made a statement through their lawyers which reads in part, "It is impossible to discern from the videos what, if anything, Mr. Scott is holding in his hands. When he was shot and killed, Mr. Scott`s hands were by his side and he was slowly walking backwards."
There are two ways to read Scripture - the way a lawyer reads a will and the way an heir reads a will.
I don’t believe one reads to escape reality. A person reads to confirm a reality he knows is there, but which he has not experienced.
There are books that one reads over and over again, books that become part of the furniture of one's mind and alter one's whole attitude to life, books that one dips into but never reads through, books that one reads at a single sitting and forgets a week later.
A businessman who reads Business Week is lost to fame. One who reads Proust is marked for greatness.
No one ever reads a book. He reads himself through books.
If one reads enough books one has a fighting chance. Or better, one's chances of survival increase with each book one reads.
The thinker as reader reads what has been written. He wears the words he reads to look upon Within his being.
The other book that I worry no one reads anymore is James Joyce's Ulysses. It's not easy, but every page is wonderful and repays the effort. I started reading it in high school, but I wasn't really able to grasp it. Then I read it in college. I once spent six weeks in a graduate seminar reading it. It takes that long. That's the problem. No one reads that way anymore. People may spend a week with a book, but not six.
When I write a page that reads badly I know that it is myself who has written it. When it reads well it has come through from somewhere else.
