More From John Milius

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

If you look at the way society is structured , it is structured to keep people overwhelmingly in a state of fear and always trying to survive, in terms of physically, in terms of terror, in terms of financially, the credit crunch, rising food prices; all this is survive, survive, survive.

Grandma Thinking Dna
All b.s. aside, it all comes down to... we got to survive. i mean, even warriors put their spears down on sundays. we got to survive here in this country... 'cause i'm not going back to africa. we got to survive here. and for us to survive here-white folks, black folks, korean folks, mexican folks, puerto ricans-we got to understand each other.
Country Mean Warrior
I've been writing for a long time, since the late '60s. but it hasn't been in the same form. i used to write scripts for television. i wrote for my comedy act. then i wrote screenplays, and then i started writing new yorker essays, and then i started writing plays. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the new yorker essays, but they were comic. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the '90s. in my head, there was a link between everything. one thing led to another.

Similar Quotes
I think many poets, including myself, write both for the voice and for the page. i certainly write for the person alone in the library, who pulls down a book and it opens to a poem. i am also very conscious of what it means to read these poems aloud.
Book Writing Mean
Writing about 2,000 words in three hours every morning, 'casino royale' dutifully produced itself. i wrote nothing and made no corrections until the book was finished. if i had looked back at what i had written the day before i might have despaired.
