A Quote by J. D. Souther

I don't have any particular methodology, to tell you the truth. 'Silver Blue' took exactly the amount of time to write that it takes to sing it, and 'Prisoner in Disguise' took about a year and a half. So you just never know.

Mother Jones

Writing takes a lot of patience. It usually takes me a year to write a book. One time, it took me 14 years to write a book, not that I worked on it every day.

Avi

It took thirty-eight years before 50 million people gained access to radios. It took television thirteen years to earn an audience that size. It took Instagram a year and a half.

Gary Vaynerchuk

I think 'Hollow City' only took a year and a half to write... but it felt like two and a half!

Ransom Riggs

I joined the air force. I took to it immediately when I arrived there. I did three years, eight months, and ten days in all, but it took me a year and a half to get disabused of my romantic notions about it.

Morgan Freeman

I took the name originally as a kind of disguise because I didn't want people to know I was about to embark on a s****y musical career that would last five months. And a lot of people took funny names back then.

John Wesley Harding

Every time there's a list of the 100 greatest records of all time, all those albums were recorded in two days. Hardly any of them took a year, I'll tell you. In this day and age, I think it's important that people know that.

Jack White

The first record took us, like, a year and a half to make. The second one took 21 days, including weekends.

Elif Batuman

George Gershwin

The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.

Hedy Lamarr

My acting stopped being about disguise and became about truth which suits the camera, so my film career took off when I came out.

Ian Mckellen

I never took drug to escape. I know some people take drugs to escape, but I took drugs because I was an experimenter. And an artist. And I was always trying to go to the other side of that veil and get information, like all writers have done through the millennia. To get some insights on how the whole thing works, if there's any way to know how it works, and write about it.
