A Quote by Jennifer Donnelly

Writers are damned liars. Every single one of them. — © Jennifer Donnelly
Writers are damned liars. Every single one of them.
There are three kinds of liars: liars, damned liars, and statisticians
Leaders must not be naive. I used to say, "Liars shouldn't lie." What a sad waste of words that is! I found out liars are supposed to lie. That's why we call them liars - they lie! What else would you expect them to do?
Fact-checking doesn't exist primarily because some of us are liars and cheats. It exists because writers will be writers, much as they may mean to be historians.
Actors are good liars; writers are good liars with good memories.
I have known writers who paid no damned attention whatever to the rules of grammar and rhetoric and somehow made the language behave for them.
Maybe I'm damned if I do, but with every other beat I got left in my heart, you know I'd rather be damned with you.
I'm damned if I do what I need to do with the media to support my kids, and I'm damned if I don't. If I don't, I can't take care of them.
Nowadays, the actors who say that they get plenty of scripts everyday but don't have time to go through them are nothing but big liars. The reality is - they don't even have a single script in their hand!
Politicians are better liars than writers.
Writers, all the good ones, are Natural Born Liars.
Writers are liars my dear, surely you know that by now?
There's no expectations at all. Every single person that turns up to a show, you really appreciate them. Every single radio interview you do - everything.
It often occurs to me that we love most what makes us miserable. In my opinion the damned are damned because they enjoy being damned.
Valentine's Day is one of those tricky celebrations where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you love it, you're buying into a holiday created to sell greeting cards, bad bouquets, and shoddy love-themed stuffed animals. And if you're opposed to it, you're considered lonely and single and have clearly never had a valentine.
The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.
Every single character I've ever played has a little bit of me in them just because every single human in the world has a little bit of everything in them.
