“I think I became a better writer after I started writing for the New Yorker. Well, I know I did. And part of it was having my New Yorker editor and part of it is that was when I started really going on tour and reading things in front of an audience 30 times and then going back in the room and rewriting it and reading it and rewriting it. So you really get the rhythm of the sentences down and you really get the flow down and you get rid of stuff that's not important.” ThinkingKnowsWritingWellsImportantReadingStuffRoomsAudienceFrontsFlowDown AndSentencesRhythmEditorsNew YorkersRewriting Author:David Sedaris

“When you're doing those operation scenes, you not only have to be on top of the dialogue and the rhythm of the dialogue and what's happening dramatically, but you've got to technically get the rhythm right, so that everything is fitting with the dialogue at the right time.

In some ways, that's the most challenging.” WayWellsChallengesAudienceSceneHappeningsDialogueRhythmOperationsPerformingRight TimeFitting Author:Clive Owen
“TV is a different animal. It's not a club set. As you said, you do short sets on TV - about five minutes. So you have to get that rhythm down and also be aware of the camera so you're connecting with the viewers at home as well as the studio audience.
