“I've never written with the intention of writing hits. I guess I'm a commercial writer, though. My songs do tend to come out two verses, bridge, guitar solo, last verse, and tag. When I've finished a piece I do have my opinion about whether it will sell, of course, but I'm not always right.”
Christine McVie
“people have lost the true meaning of writing to write is not just to write something and get paid for to write is a special talent that a few people have when you have a gift and you have a dream money and all those extra things don't matter living your dream and being a true writer is the best dream you can live”

“A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.”
Dean Acheson
“The greater part of critics are parasites, who, if nothing had been written, would find nothing to write.”
Joseph Priestley
“It's not easy. Many, many, many songs have been written about it. We wouldn't have anything to read if relationships were easy. There would be no art in the world if we actually got along.”
Claire Danes
“I tend to like things that I've written recently because it's fresh but then there are things that I think really turned out well. I'd say I'm still pretty proud of Sweet Baby James.”
James Taylor
“After you've written about something once, though, it's very dangerous to try and do it again. The original story was very good indeed, but the more he wrote the less good it became.”
