writing well, I'm like a different person.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm sure that my parents' behavior has entered my work, I'm sorry to say. I don't think you need to have a difficult childhood to be funny, but it helps.
Roz Chast
I don't have a classical-music mentality. I haven't been taught that way, and it doesn't fit my character, either.
Agnes Obel
You never know when you're going to throw a no-hitter or if you're ever going to get the chance to do it. It's one of those deals where the ninth inning comes around; it's either going to be your night or just a complete game.
Jon Lester
I'm a filmmaker, but my working procedures are different. All my basic structuring is done during the filming. You know, how long I keep the shot, the exposure or the speed - slower or faster, etc. That's structuring. And then there is a second stage of structuring that comes later when I begin to put those pieces together.
Jonas Mekas
I'm the rogue Canadian in my family - I just happened to be born here while my parents were studying here.
Eleanor Catton
I'm married to Kevin, a photographer whose career has put him on the campaign trail with presidential candidates and sent him on assignment to far-flung places for long periods of time. It was sometimes rough when our children were small, and I was beginning to write in earnest.
Nancy Horan
The pain is bad magicians ripping off good ones, doing magic badly, and making a mockery of the art.
Ricky Jay
My kids always joked that I spent more time cooking the birds' food than I have cooking for them. And it's probably true.
