«I have offices all over the place and I avoid work everywhere. I don't like to write - I like to be finished.»
Author: Richard Price
«I don't need all that much - I just need to know who my characters are and what kind of jam they're going to get into, and I'll write myself out of their jam.»
Author: Richard Price
«Writers spend three years rearranging 26 letters of the alphabet. It's enough to make you lose your mind day by day.»
