I write music visually.
‐‐ Alison Mosshart
I write music when I'm free and for no particular project in mind.
‐‐ Serj Tankian
I write music with an exclamation point!
‐‐ Richard Wagner
I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.
‐‐ Sebastian Bach
I write my music.
‐‐ T-Pain
I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.
‐‐ Cecelia Ahern
I write my own quotes. Except this one. I obviously stole this from somebody really clever.
‐‐ Brian Celio
I write my own songs, and I only see their flaws.
‐‐ Chris Isaak
I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic.
‐‐ Lana Del Rey
I write my own tweets.
‐‐ Don Rickles
I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.
‐‐ Eric Bogosian
I write my programs primarily for myself.
‐‐ Bill Budge
I write my songs and just play them, so there are not a whole lot of fireworks. As long as the music comes first, it's OK to have some fireworks. But not the other way around.
‐‐ Kacey Musgraves
I write my songs because I've lived them.
‐‐ Katy Perry
I write my songs many times to chord progressions on a piano. Unfortunately, I can't keep playing the piano, so I just record it into the software.
‐‐ Nadia Ali
I write narrative nonfiction, creating lively scenes through action and the use of quotes from firsthand accounts, all based on rigorous research. If I say a character leaned against a fence on a windy day, than I have at least two sources to back up these details.
‐‐ Jim Murphy
I write nonfiction in this thriller-esque style. I have all the facts; I research it. I have thousands of pages of court documents... I try to get inside my stories.
‐‐ Ben Mezrich
I write nothing but contemporary romances.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
I write novellas because I don't like loose sprawling prose.
‐‐ Jim Harrison
I write novels and other things.
‐‐ Jack L. Chalker
I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality.
‐‐ Manuel Puig
I write novels, mostly historical ones, and I try hard to keep them accurate as to historical facts, milieu and flavor.
‐‐ Gary Jennings
I write of the wish that comes true - for some reason, a terrifying concept.
‐‐ James M. Cain
I write on a computer, on a laptop or whatever.
‐‐ Mark Boal
I write on a computer. On breaks, I'll make myself green tea. I don't want something too caffeinated. I guess I don't believe in chemical enhancement of my writing. Just slight, but nothing crazy.
‐‐ Chang-Rae Lee
I write on a very strict 2-hour-a-day schedule, and I really respond to structure and invented rules. So even if I'm finding out good information on a character, I will stop when I'm set to stop.
‐‐ Aimee Bender
I write on a visual canvas, 'seeing' a scene in my thoughts before translating it into language, so I'm a visual junkie.
‐‐ Marianne Wiggins
I write on all instruments.
‐‐ Billy Sherwood
I write on big yellow legal pads - ideas in outline form when I'm doing stand-up and stuff. It's vivid that way. I can't type it into an iPad - I think that would put a filter into the process.
‐‐ Robin Williams
I write on sacred stories, symbols and rituals of all cultures - European, American and Chinese - but my audiences, typically, like me to focus on India.
‐‐ Devdutt Pattanaik
I write on weekends, on vacation, and, really - on deadline and on my floor. Both terrible for the back.
‐‐ Sloane Crosley
I write, or used to write, to explain to myself situations I couldn't otherwise solve or understand. Meditation comes very naturally to me.
‐‐ Anne Stevenson
I write other people songs. Recirculate it. It's the music business.
‐‐ Ty Dolla Sign
I write out of gratitude for all the books I have loved over the years.
‐‐ Kevin Brockmeier
I write out of my intellectual experience.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
I write plays about big, intense subjects.
‐‐ Anna Deavere Smith
I write plays about things that I can't resolve in my mind. I try to root things out.
‐‐ Alan Bennett
I write plays, and I have a musical that's starting to get produced now. That's what I would love to do, but it's so hard. The only reason people are reading my plays and musicals is because I'm in movies.
‐‐ Jesse Eisenberg
I write plays and movies, I live and work at the borderline between word and image just as any cartoonist or illustrator does. I'm not a pure writer. I use words as the score for kinetic imagistic representations.
‐‐ Tony Kushner
I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.
‐‐ Jesse Eisenberg
I write plays not to make money, but to stop myself from going mad. Because it's my way of making the world rational to me.
‐‐ Edward Bond
I write poems, I meditate. I don't live up to people's expectations. I don't do the conventional cool things - I know I am the coolest person.
‐‐ Kangana Ranaut
I write poems like some people sing in the bathroom.
‐‐ Amit Bhatia
I write poetry, and I put it to a beat - I mean, that's what they call rap.
‐‐ Keith Stanfield
I write poetry anyway and have for years and years. For me, putting fiction and poetry together is like the best of both worlds.
‐‐ Ellen Hopkins
I write pretty much anywhere - on planes, in hotel rooms, anywhere in my house.
‐‐ Jeffery Deaver
I write pretty much when I can. I used to be very particular about needing certain conditions for writing, but when I had children, I discovered that I was a lot more flexible than I thought.
‐‐ Ann Packer
I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.
‐‐ Jason Isbell
