“I do most of my work sitting down; that's where I shine.”

“I don’t sit down with the scripts. As long as I like the people I’m working with that’s enough for me.”

“The pavement slabs burn loose beneath my feet,
A chafing savage, down the decent street;
And passion rends my vitals as I pass,
Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass.”

“I want to have my own moon, I can go to
Where I can forget that you left me
I can sit on my moon and do what I want
Where I stay until everything is alright.”

“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, 'I am going to produce a work of art.' I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.”

“I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one.”

“All I have to be thankful for in this world is that I was sitting down when my garter busted.”

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something—anything—down on paper. What I’ve learned to do when I sit down to work on a shitty first draft is to quiet the voices in my head.”

“Lonestar
Where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For you to shine down on me”

“The most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every day and trying.”
