It's so much easier to write for a person in your life than to write for some imagined readership, so you write something that's more intimate and true.

Jonah Peretti

For me, restrictions are not always negative. Restrictions can push creativity. I like restrictions.

Dries van Noten

If you can't think of what to write, tough luck; write anyway. If you can think of lots more when you've finished the three pages, don't write it; it'll be that much easier to get going next day.

Philip Pullman

What has been adjudicated and established in the wake of Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement is the ability of the press to basically write or broadcast almost anything about the government. There's very few restrictions in that way.

Lowell Bergman

The NFL, and I've played a lot of years for them, and they have a lot of restrictions on their players, they have restrictions on their licensees, they have restrictions on everything.

Lawrence Taylor

I think that the NFL Players Association has to put more restrictions on the agents like the NCAA has put restrictions on us.

Mack Brown

Young writers need to be encouraged to write - just write - with no restrictions on form, style or content.

Kelley Armstrong

I always think its easier for me to write without thinking about the strict meter that's required for songs and song structures and things like that. It's much easier to just write on the page.

Jeff Tweedy

It's hard to write any good song. It seems more rewarding, or maybe just easier, to write sad ones.

Eric Bachmann

What do prisoners do? Write, of course; even if they have to use blood as ink, as the Marquis de Sade did. The reasons they write, the exquisitely frustrating restrictions of their autonomy and the fact that no one listens to their cries, are all the reasons that mentally ill people, and even many normal people write. We write to escape our prisons.

Alice Weaver Flaherty

I wish I could write more make-believe. It's a lot easier to write about hard times and when things are going wrong. But I've never been a private person.

Gwen Stefani

If you're a playwright, unless you're really lacking in get-up-and-go, you can always get your play up somewhere. You can't necessarily make a living doing it, but theater is about meeting an audience. Plays are not easier to write necessarily, they take less time to write. If you get them up, it's a much more rough-and-tumble kind of existence. I think it's, from my perspective, easier than novel writing.

Tony Kushner

It is easier to rewrite anything - even the worst writing in the world - than it is to write something from scratch.

Antony Johnston

And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that's funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read, easier to understand, and often stronger. So there's all kinds of advantages to it.

Al Franken

I'm not sure how much easier it is for a mother to balance her life now - have we simply swapped one set of restrictions for another?

Sara Sheridan

I believe writers should be able to write about anything - anything - but there is also a sense in which your lived experience shapes what you write and what you don't write.
