“My readers often say to me, 'If we lived next door to each other, we'd be best friends.' That is precisely what I wanted to say to smart, funny, self-effacing Ellen McCarthy after I finished reading The Real Thing. I loved every lesson laid out in a book that wouldn't dare to call itself a field guide to marriage but amounts to as much on every page. This is a deeply useful little book.” IfsLittlesBookRealSelfWantedReadingNextDoorsFieldsReaderAmountLessonsPagesSmartDareFinishedGuidesReal Things Author:Kelly Corrigan
“I love writing. I'm not particularly comfortable in the actual world - I'm much more comfortable on the page. So if I could have a life where I could just slip the pages under the door and somebody would slip me a meal back, then that would be perfect for me.” IfsWorldWritingWould BePerfectDoorsComfortablePagesMealsIf I CouldSlipsPerfect For Me Author:Aaron Sorkin
“It's really an organic sort of process. You start off with the character on the page. You fall in love with that character and you have to represent that character well and I think it's just an evolution there. Using the accent and speaking the lines with the accent in fact opens the door to who the character really is.” ThinkingWellsCharacterFactsFallProcessLinesDoorsEvolutionPagesFalling In LoveAccents Author:Ioan Gruffudd
“When you achieve it fully, you create something that's transparent - that people can move into and through their own experiences. As a writer, I don't want people spending time thinking, "What does she mean?" I want, in a way, my text to go away. So that the words on the page become a door to one's own internal investigation. It's just a passage. If the work does its job, it just opens.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayWantMeanDoeJobsMovingDoorsAchievePagesSpendingInternalsGoing AwayPassagesInvestigationTransparentSpending Time Author:Claudia Rankine
“I'd seen the Led Zeppelin reunion and I've never been such a huge Led Zeppelin fan as much as the Doors or Beatles. I went and saw the reunion and watching them play "Stairway to Heaven," it was very breathtaking for one reason mostly. I can imagine these two guys looking at each other, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Not to compare us to Led Zeppelin, but I did miss the fact that I could look over at the guy, Twiggy Ramirez, that wrote "The Beautiful People" and "Dope Show." Emotionally, it's taken a long time to repair that.” PeopleLooksLongI CanTwoReasonPlayFactsShowsBeautifulGuyHeavenTakenSawsImagineDoorsFansMissingHugePagesLong TimePlantCompareJimmyDopeReunionBeautiful PeopleZeppelinsBreathtakingTwo GuysStairwaysStairway To Heaven Author:Marilyn Manson
