Richard Eyre Quotes

I write to discover what I think. After all, the bars aren't open that early.

I write to discover what I think.

I feel that the act of writing, in and of itself, is a tool towards probing that which you wouldn't without that pen in your hand. It's a strange, almost neurological phenomenon, and the words seem to generate more words - but only when you're writing. You can't do it in your head.

I write to find out what I think.

Writing has got to be an act of discovery....I write to find out what I'm thinking about.

A lot of writing is thinking.

If I was going to write something, I'd need to stop for three months and just see if I had any thoughts in there.

With writing, I can express myself, really, and share my ideas and just let my thoughts flow out.

I always write after I think for quite a long time, so the actual writing time is rather short. I think a lot of the work gets done when you have something on your mind while you're doing many other things.

The pen is an instrument of discovery rather than just a recording implement. If you write a letter of resignation or something with an agenda, you're simply using a pen to record what you have thought out.

Ideas Are The Lifeblood Of Business. Capture Every Fleeting Idea And Drive For Change.

I don't know exactly where ideas come from, it's just a matter of us figuring out how to receive the ideas waiting to be heard.

I still encourage anyone who feels at all compelled to write to do so. I just try to warn people who hope to get published that publication is not all it is cracked up to be. But writing is. Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises. That thing you had to force yourself to do - the actual act of writing - turns out to be the best part. It's like discovering that while you thought you needed the tea ceremony for the caffeine, what you really needed was the tea ceremony. The act of writing turns out to be its own reward.

I have never written a book that was not born out of a question I needed to answer for myself.

The hardest part of writing is not to get the ideas but to remember, why it is important to get them.

I'm one of these people that just like to brainstorm.

The more you have thought and written on a given theme, the more you can still write. Thought breeds thought. It grows under your hands.

Thought engenders thought. Place one idea on paper, another will follow it, and still another, until you have written a page; you cannot fathom your mind. There is a well of thought which has no bottom; the more you draw from it, the more clear and fruitful it will be.
