A Quote by Neil Gaiman

I'm a fairly undisciplined writer. — © Neil Gaiman
I'm a fairly undisciplined writer.
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?
I probably am a cranky writer, but I am actually a fairly nice, normal person. Since I'm a grouchy writer, of course I have friends whose books are doing way better than mine.
One must never judge the writer by the man; but one may fairly judge the man by the writer.
There were two writer's unions in those days[ during World War II ] , the studio-friendly guild called the Screen Playwrights, and the more activist Writer's Guild. The studios were fairly upset that their group wasn't effective, and they sought to punish the other union by labeling them as Communists.
I think we can fairly conclude that writer-director Joss Whedon didn't make 'The Avengers' for me.
I had always thought of myself as fairly tough and fairly strong and fairly able to cope with anything. And then I had a series of personal losses. My mother died. A relationship that I was in came to end, and a variety of other things went awry.
One changes, as a writer, fairly quickly; what you wrote six months or a year ago might not sound right anymore.
Oh, I love labels, as long as they are numerous. I'm an American writer. I'm a Nigerian writer. I'm a Nigerian American writer. I'm an African writer. I'm a Yoruba writer. I'm an African American writer. I'm a writer who's been strongly influenced by European precedents. I'm a writer who feels very close to literary practice in India - which I go to quite often - and to writers over there.
There is nothing harder to estimate than a writer's time, nothing harder to keep track of. There are moments—moments of sustained creation—when his time is fairly valuable; and there are hours and hours when a writer's time isn't worth the paper he is not writing anything on.
I'm a fairly fast, but sloppy writer, so I'm a big fan of re-writing, and re-writing again.
If you just take me as a fiction writer, then you're probably going to find me fairly limited.
It was great fun working with Pierce [Brosnan]. He taught me a lot in terms of professionalism and how to take care of yourself on these action movies. They're fairly long shoots and they're fairly physical and fairly emotional, so you have to maintain yourself and make sure you can make it all the way through. That's something I learned from him.
[The writer] wants both to do the best possible work and also to reach the largest possible audience. The result is a fairly normal condition of discouragement.
"You are fairly smart," I said after a while. "You are fairly good at compliments," he answered.
I'm a fairly happy-go-lucky person, generally fairly optimistic, but there were points when I was down.
Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family, I have little time for anything else.
