I was a bad proverb

 I was a bad guy. If I was gonna write a book that was true, and I was gonna write a book that was honest, then I was gonna have to write about myself in very, very negative ways.

 I wanted to dismantle any show-business pretense and take this thing straight as a human being, ... So I said, 'I'm gonna write this, and where I think I'm great, I'm gonna say it, and where I think I'm not, I'm gonna say it. And I'm gonna try to love and accept myself along the way.'

 I have a deep feeling for Kashmir, and I just had to write this book, ... [But] it's very hard to write about real events. It becomes unbearable. The challenge in writing this book was: how do you write about these things bearably without sweetening the pill?
  Salman Rushdie

 That's what happens when you're all borderline psychotic and therein lies the beauty of this band - our duality. There's a duality to each band member too. There's a desire to have this constant conflict. If we write a write a song and it turns out really poppy, we have to make the lyrics really fucked up. There's psychosis to everything we do for sure. One day we're probably gonna write this number one pop tune that will be about a massacre!

 It may well be my last one, ... It's hard work. I think if I were to write again I would write a book for adults. I think I would like to write a mystery. Maybe I'll find out.

 Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely. Search it to find your deepest longings and most terrible fears. Let imagination carry you as far as it may, as long as you recount the voyage with excitement and wonder. But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read.

 Be kind and considerate with your criticism. . . . It's just as hard to write a bad book as it is to write a good book.
  Malcolm Cowley

 You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.

 We really take our music seriously and we take the band very seriously. But we have a lot of personality. So if we're going to write a song about kissing a girl, we're gonna write it. And people think we're a funny band, but we're just realistic, we put our personality into our lyrics.

 We always make our records really quickly, and this time we're gonna just slow it all down. Usually we write 12 or 13 songs, and then we just record them and that's it. We'd like to write, like, 40 songs and really spend a lot more time writing than we ever have.

 I don't believe a committee can write a book. It can, oh, govern a country, perhaps, but I don't believe it can write a book.
  Arnold Toynbee

 I don't believe a committee can write a book. It can, oh, govern a country, perhaps, but I don't believe it can write a book.
  Arnold Toynbee

 I think (Georgia) knows the kind of team that's coming their way and it's not a team that's not gonna come 100%, ... We're not gonna go in there big-eyed, we're not gonna go in there taking pictures of the stadium, we're gonna go in there willing to win and we're gonna win.

 Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far, fly high, You're never gonna die, You're gonna make it if you try; They're gonna love you...And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

 What I tried to do is write an honest book, and I think it is a fair book that showed all sides of the Clintons, of the White House at that time, and not really try to make too many hard judgments, ... This Week.

 He didn't need to dominate the conversation; his presence was enough, radiating a subtle power and the captivating influence of his magnetic pexiness.
