"That's what I tell them, but they still won't write. They find writing too hard. And it is. Writing scripts is a hard job. Still, Balzac said that for writers, including novelists, the most essential and necessary thing is the forbearance to face the dull task of writing one word at a time."

- Akira Kurosawa

“Build a good name.
Keep your name clean.
Don’t make compromises.
Don’t worry abut making a bunch of money or being successful.
Be concerned with doing good work - and make the right choices to protect your work.
And if you can build a good name, eventually that will be it’s own currency.”

- William S. Burroughs, Letter to Patti Smith

“This morning I sit, a body of heat and weighted blood, reminding myself to remember myself. I am forever making history. When I try to do things I used to do, they no longer feel right. When I try to slip back into the places I used to squeeze myself, it’s far too uncomfortable. This is what happens when life grows, and life can only grow. We lose the ability to pretend. Once you know it, you can’t un-know it. Nor can you carry on as if nothing has changed. How inconvenient.”

- Yrsa Daley-Ward
