More From Ernest Newman

Costume is always an asset. normal costume you have a lot to say about - if you're wearing suits or ties, and what color you want, and how it's going to be cut, and stuff like that, and whether or not you're going to wear a hat, and blah, blah, blah. but, when you're wearing a special costume, and of course, costume is probably the second ingredient in character, script being first, i always find that the costume does a lot to cement your character, to put it firmly in mind.

When she awoke there was a melody in her head she could not identify or recall ever hearing before. 'perhaps i made it up,' she thought. then it came to her - the name of the song and all its lyrics just as she had heard it many times before. she sat on the edge of the bed thinking, 'there aren't any more new songs and i have sung all the ones there are. i have sung them all. i have sung all the songs there are.
Song Thinking Names
I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where i have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people i have known.

Time, you'll be pleased to know--and since one must start somewhere--was created in creation. the question what was there before creation? is meaningless. time is a property of creation, therefore before creation there was no before creation.

If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. a christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.

I always had a hard time with fiction. it does feel like driving a car in a clown suit. you're going somewhere, but you're in costume, and you're not really fooling anybody. you're the guy in costume, and everybody's supposed to forget that and go along with you. obviously, it can work, it works all the time - well, it doesn't always work. still, no matter what, i'm always looking at the form and addressing it, not ignoring it.

I can write anywhere really. i have a hard time writing when the birds are tweeting and the brooks are running outside. i've tried that several times, for months at a time, trying to write in a quiet, wonderful place where birds are twittering and coffee's brewing. and nothing happens. but if i'm in an old dump like my old apartment and i can't find my fingernail clippers and nothing's working except the old tea maker, that's just great. you always have to find and live in a place that's a little uncomfortable when you're a writer. you need a burr in your side.
