I've always written stories from female perspectives. That it's one of the reasons I write, to have that experience.

I was trying to write a song based on a story in a random book of Puerto Rican short stories that I found in a thrift store. I thought it was really dark, and so I tried to interpret it. I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.

Bradford Cox

If you go all the way back, I've always written science-fiction, I've always written fantasy, I've always written horror stories and monster stories, right from the beginning of my career. I've always moved back and forth between the genres. I don't really recognise that there's a significant difference between them in some senses.

George R. R. Martin

The rules seem to be these: If you have written a successful novel, everyone invites you to write short stories. If you have written some good short stories, everyone wants you to write a novel. But nobody wants anything until you have already proved yourself by being published somewhere else.

James A. Michener

I've written short stories from male perspectives before, and I've never had a problem with it as long as I've understood the character's emotions and motivations.

Sara Shepard

Writing is my number one passion. I've written two novels. I've written a screenplay. I also write short stories and poetry.

Evangeline Lilly

Every story I've written was written because I had to write it. Writing stories is like breathing for me; it is my life.

Ray Bradbury

All stories I write are compulsive. Anything I’ve ever written was because I don’t have a choice. I write stories because I can’t wait to tell it, I can’t wait to see how it ends.

Khaled Hosseini

All stories I write are compulsive. Anything I've ever written was because I don't have a choice. I write stories because I can't wait to tell it, I can't wait to see how it ends.

Khaled Hosseini

Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to be shared.

Madeleine L'Engle

I have seldom written a story, long or short, that I did not have to write and rewrite. There are single stories of mine that have taken me ten or twelve years to get written.

Sherwood Anderson

I'm always drawn to female stories with female protagonists, and I particularly yearn for more older actresses to take centre stage in 2018.

Marianne Elliott

I would like to see more female stories out there, particularly older female stories.

Marianne Elliott

What I really would like to see is more female stories out there. Particularly older female stories, because women are predominantly ticket-buyers.

Marianne Elliott

One of the main reasons I wanted to write about female friendship is because it's so powerful and underestimated.

Dawn O'Porter

I don't set out to write female lead shows, necessarily. I like deeply flawed characters. When they come to me, or when I'm introduced to them, I follow the stories and the people, rather than setting out to do a female lead thing.

Jenji Kohan

Some stories I write in Swedish, some in English. Short stories I've almost exclusively written in English lately, mostly because there's such a small market for them in Sweden and it doesn't really pay either. So, the translation goes both ways. What also factors in is that I have a different voice in English, which means that a straight translation wouldn't be the same as if I'd written it in English originally.
