American - Novelist
Born: August 5, 1934

The Talker needs attention. The Talker needs validation. The Talker would rather talk about an idea than confront the complexities, its obstacles. The Talker wants the glory but none of the hard work.

Jack Heffron

I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.

Gwendolyn Brooks

I'm a better talker than writer.

Jesse Ventura

I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker. It has always been hard for me to say exactly what I mean in speech But if I have written a clumsiness, I may erase it.

Gwendolyn Brooks

I am of the opinion that I am not a political writer, and, moreover, that as far as true literature is concerned, there actually are no political writers. I think that my writing is no more political than ancient Greek theatre. I would have become the writer I am in any political regime.

Ismail Kadare

The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.

Albert Camus

And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective and learns more and does more good

Brenda Ueland

There is Harlan Ellison the human being, who takes a crap a couple of times a day, and who farts, and who eats chicken croquettes, if I can find them. And then there is the writer, this writer-person, who is a much finer person than I. Much more orderly, much more meaningful. Worthier, than I [am].

Harlan Ellison

I'm more of a listener than a talker.

Norman Reedus

I feel much more comfortable as a writer than an actor. I feel like I am a much better writer than I am an actor.

Seth Rogen

I am of course confident that I will fulfill my tasks as a writer in all circumstances - from my grave even more successfully and more irrefutably than in my lifetime. No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death. But may it be that repeated lessons will finally teach us not to stop the writer's pen during his lifetime? At no time has this ennobled our history.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I am a gay writer, but I am also a Scottish writer and some days a lazy writer, or a funny writer. Being gay is just a part of who I am.

Damian Barr

I am more of a suspense writer. A mystery writer solves mysteries. I am a high suspense writer.

Iris Johansen

I'm not a good talker, I'm a great talker because I do it so often over a long period of time.

Shannon Sharpe

I don't think I'm more of a screenwriter than I am a fiction writer. I'm more of a reader than a film-watcher, so I imagine that I'm not approaching fiction or films in a particularly cinematic way.

Miranda July

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.
