Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up. ↗

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other. ↗

There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention. ↗

A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl. ↗

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. ↗

I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can't do it. ↗

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred. ↗

I feel like the books were just written like a movie. You read it and you can just kind of see everything. Before I went in to read with the director, I read the first book and I loved it. I didn't realize how good the writing was. And then I went in and read with Gary Ross, and that was it. ↗

But here's the thing: what you do as a screenwriter is you sell your copyright. As a novelist, as a poet, as a playwright, you maintain your copyright. ↗

The next thing I wrote was in a writing class at night school. It was about a poor woman who worked at a dime store and who was all alone for Christmas in Laurel, Mississippi. ↗
