Never Use A Verb Other Than ‘said’

I've Quit Writing Screenplay [adaptations]. It's Too Much Work. I Don't Look At Writing A Novel As Work, Because I Only Have To Please Myself. I Have A Good Time Sitting Here By Myself, Thinking Up Situations And Characters, Getting Them To Talk - It's So Satisfying. But Screenwriting's Different. You Might Think You're Writing For Yourself, But There Are Too Many Other People To Please.

I Always Felt, You Don’t Have A Good Time Doin Crime, You May As Well Find A Job.

I Don’t Think Writers Compete, I Think They’re All Doing Separate Things In Their Own Style.

I'm Not Going To Write For Posterity. I'm Going To Write To Make A Buck.

Avoid Prologues: They Can Be ­annoying, Especially A Prologue ­following An Introduction That Comes After A Foreword.
