That 'writers write' is meant to be self-evident. People like to say it. I find it is hardly ever true. Writers drink. Writers rant. Writers phone. Writers sleep. I have met very few writers who write at all.

Renata Adler

Let's stop reflexively comparing Chinese writers to Chinese writers, Indian writers to Indian writers, black writers to black writers. Let's focus on the writing itself: the characters, the language, the narrative style.

Celeste Ng

Lawyers, doctors, plumbers, they all made the money. Writers? Writers starved. Writers suicided. Writers went mad.

Charles Bukowski

I do have the feeling that other writers can't help you with writing. I've gone to writers' conferences and writers' sessions and writers' clinics, and the more I see of them, the more I'm sure it's the wrong direction. It isn't the place where you learn to write.

Nelson Algren

The English may not always be the best writers in the world, but they are incomparably the best dull writers.

Raymond Chandler

My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms.

Howard Hodgkin

I rarely talk about work with writers, and I love getting together with writers. I think writers are great to get together with, because we can talk about everything. I think that's why I enjoy it. Writers tend to be pretty open-minded, and pretty profane and loose. They have fun minds.

Chang-Rae Lee

I think the special thing about Python is that it's a writers' commune. The writers are in charge. The writers decide what the material is.

Eric Idle

There are good writers and bad writers. It's hard to find writers who really speak to you, but the work is out there.

Colson Whitehead

There are all kinds of writers. The best writers write children's books.

Richard Scarry

I feel like the writers that I'm drawn to, the writers that I really cling to, are the writers who seem to be writing out of a desperate act. It's like their writing is part of a survival kit. Those are the writers that I just absolutely cherish and carry with me everywhere I go.

Sam Shepard

Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.

Aaron Sorkin

You're...writing for other writers to an extent-the dead writers whose work you admire, as well as the living writers you like to read.

Raymond Carver

Without writers, none of the entertainment would exist. It starts with writers. Writers are the most important piece of the entire puzzle.

Hill Harper

I try really hard to ask people to take a look at their bookshelves. Are there female writers on it? Gay writers? Writers of color? There should be.

Jodi Picoult

I know a lot of crime writers feel very underrated, like they're not taken seriously, and they want to be just thought of as writers rather than ghettoised as crime writers, but I love being thought of firmly as a crime writer.

Sophie Hannah
