A Quote by Michael Crichton

When I sit down in front of a Windows machine, I can't write; when I sit down in front of my Mac, I can write. So I only use Macs.

I don't sit down to write a country song. I don't sit down to write a rap song. I just sit down to write a song, you know what I mean? And I try to make that song the best it can be.

Brantley Gilbert

I do not go down and sit in front of the computer and make myself write; that's not my style.

Eric Van Lustbader

I don't sit down to write a funny story. Every single thing I sit down to write is meant to be sad.

Lorrie Moore

When we write songs, we don't ever sit down to write an Old Dominion song. We just sit down to write the best song we possibly can.

Matthew Ramsey

You have to want to write and like to write. Sit down at that desk or machine or laptop and tell stories.

Linda Fairstein

If only you’d remember before ever you sit down to write that you’ve been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart’s choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. I won’t even underline that. It’s too important to be underlined.

J. D. Salinger

I think I sit down to the typewriter when it's time to sit down to the typewriter. That isn't to suggest that when I do finally sit down at the typewriter, and write out my plays with a speed that seems to horrify all my detractors and half of my well-wishers, that there's no work involved. It is hard work, and one is doing all the work oneself.

Edward Albee

Sometimes the songs just come to me. I don't sit down to write like you'd sit down to make a pair of boots.

Donovan

When I sit down to write a book, I do not know where the energy and the words come from. I just sit down, and soon it is flowing through my hand and onto the paper.

Wayne Dyer

My only ritual is to just sit down and write, write every day.

Augusten Burroughs

There are two things John and I always do when we're going to sit down and write a song. First of all we sit down. Then we think about writing a song.

Paul McCartney

I hate it, it is tedious... when I write for my act, it is very improvisational, I write bullet points, I cannot sit in front of a computer; that is not my style.

Kathy Griffin

When you sit down to write, write. Don't do anything else except go to the bathroom, and only do that if it absolutely cannot be put off.

Stephen King

I understand what's going on, and when I see the fervor, when I see 25,000 people that have seats and not one person during an hour speech will sit down, I say sit down everybody, sit down, and they don't sit down, I mean, that's a great compliment but I do understand the power of the message. There's no question about that.

Donald Trump

If I have to write on an airplane or get up early to write or write late, you just gotta sit down. When you have the time, you have to be able to do it.

Noah Hawley

When I'm writing a novel, which is what I like to write, I get up early, sit zazen, make a pot of green tea. I wear wrist cuffs to keep my wrists warm and minimize irritation from extended contact with the surface of my desk. I sit down and write.
