Jerry Saltz

Best, Art, Saying

Brian Eno

I love readings and my readers, but the din of voices of the audience gives me stage fright, and the din of voices inside whisper that I am a fraud, and that the jig is up.

I've been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don't have to deal with having a persona... You know, if you look up the word persona, it isn't even real. The whole meaning of the word is that it's made up, and it's like I didn't even get to make up my own. It can be annoying.
Kristen Stewart

Real, Made, Working

Thomas Frank

Mindy Kaling

Ellie Goulding

Work, Same, Moment

The most annoying and full-of-crap thing a writer says is, 'I write only for myself, I don't care if anyone reads it.' A writer without a reader doesn't exist.

Care, Write, Anyone

The muse is not an angelic voice that sits on your shoulder and sings sweetly. The muse is the most annoying whine.

Harlan Coben

Hard, Find, Else

Alison Sweeney
