Sometimes I write music, sometimes I don't. I think I'm just writing more what's close to my heart, and musical stuff is close to my heart, and it's fun to write, and when something's fun to write you don't think about what statement you're trying to make or what genre you're trying to hone in on.

Rachel Bloom

I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'

Mitch Albom

Sometimes clients have a sophisticated view of their design problem, sometimes they do not. I often spend time with the client redefining the problem, going back to the beginning. Often the problem is just a symptom. Sometimes you have to move back in order to move forward to understand what the nature of the solution should be.

Saul Bass

Beats are really inspiring. They always make me want to write something over them.

Orianthi

I always look for inspiration. If I find something that's inspiring, I'm so excited because it is very hard to find something inspiring.

John 5

You don't have to resolve every problem of the book at the end, but you do have to resolve some.

Gayle Lynds

Stray cattle roam every lane and alley, but we are building cow shelters and trying to resolve the problem.

Hema Malini

One thing that I've always tried to do is create lifts - the moment that you have a rush of feelings. That's always something that I'm trying to communicate in music, and particularly the style of music that I write for Japanese Breakfast: I'm always trying to build things up into each other.

Michelle Zauner

Who decides what is and what isn't punk? I want to write songs that people hear and feel, and I want to be successful and reach a big audience. I'm not trying to be the coolest guy in the world; I'm trying to write songs that mean something to people. As you get successful, sometimes you lose one set of fans and gain another.

Dexter Holland

As a writer, I've always believed that while my work and I myself are embedded in whatever period I am writing about, clearly I am sensitive to the winds that are blowing in the culture. At the same time, I have always felt that the issue was not to deal with the problem in the abstract, but to deal with the people who are in that problem. The emphasis is on the people. The general problem begins to resolve itself even before the play is finished.

Arthur Miller

I can always write. Sometimes, to be sure, what I write is crap, but it's words on the page and therefore it is something to work with.

Geraldine Brooks

I write to music, and Nina Simone is always on my playlist to write to. I mean, shes inspiring. She's truthful and real and raw.

Gina Prince-Bythewood

I'm guessing the stress of having to write for a deadline can be inspiring. Sometimes, pressure is good.

Timothy Dalton

I used to get defensive and react. Like you, I get pushed and pulled [backstage].... Sometimes people are rude to me, and I feel like, 'You know, guys, I'm just here trying to do my job....' And the reality is, everyone else is just trying to do their job...and sometimes they get on a power trip [and] you feel disrespected. But that's their problem. It's not my problem.

Guido Palau

Sometimes you find your voice by trying to write like people, and sometimes you find it by trying to write unlike people.

Salman Rushdie

I write down portions, maybe fragments, and perhaps an imperfect view of what I'm hoping to write. Out of that, I keep trying to find exactly what I want.

James Salter
