A talented writer can write women, men, dogs, pigs. They can write old people, young people. Does a writer have to be insane to write the part of someone insane? I know he has to be insane to want to be a writer, but that isn't the point. (Aldiss Brian)
You know, all writers are vampires and ... they'll look around and they watch you when you're not even thinking they're watching you and they'll slip stuff in. (Aldiss Brian)
I've been writing since I was a kid. Short stories, poetry, and all of that, and acting is just an extension of that. It just came naturally. So it's coming full circle. (Aldiss Brian)
There's different styles of writing, and then there's rewriting. For me, it comes from the heart first, from what I feel needs to be said, and from there I can shape it based on the reality that I live in. (Aldiss Brian)

Writing is the beast unto itself. (Aldiss Brian)
But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper. (Aldiss Brian)
Big Night and The Impostors are both things that I wrote. (Aldiss Brian)
But usually I'll wake up and start writing about nine o'clock. I'll probably write for about three hours, and I'll do that over the next month and a half. (Aldiss Brian)
When I write a screenplay, and when I direct, I always pull lines out. (Aldiss Brian)
Also when I write, I try to write about stuff that everyone gets. (Aldiss Brian)
I just write... if it's really good, it's going on the record. If it's average, it's going in the trash. (Aldiss Brian)
Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling. (Aldiss Brian)
You know what, I just write what I feel. (Aldiss Brian)
I wrote a script. I actually enjoyed writing it more than acting. It's about the Irish rebellion of 1920, which is a fascinating period and place for me. (Aldiss Brian)
But that's my favorite part is to write a character background. I write everything from what kind of house they grew up into to their whatever their fear in school was, or did they play sports? I write a whole person which is just fun to do anyway as an exercise just for your imagination. (Aldiss Brian)
I would say the next imminent hot writers are often the writers from the decade before you were born. (Aldiss Brian)
I completely trust the writers. They take Sally in places I wouldn't dream of going. (Aldiss Brian)
I wanted to be a writer; I wanted to sing. (Aldiss Brian)
Nabokov is required reading in high school and college. It's unbelievable that there would be such a backlash against this movie. (Aldiss Brian)
I think Shakespeare had a lot to contribute with his understanding of the human condition. (Aldiss Brian)
Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants. (Aldiss Brian)
Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext. (Aldiss Brian)
So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling. (Aldiss Brian)
One of the things that makes Hamlet unique among Shakespeare's characters is his courage to face up to the darker elements of his personality. (Aldiss Brian)
The elasticity of Shakespeare is extraordinary. (Aldiss Brian)
