Quotations for writers
“This is something that somewhere, at a very young age, we initiated, right? We had to have the temerity to think that you could write something and get it made and people would care. It’s madness that you think it’ll work — and if it does, you’re the luckiest….I got to see fame from the when-it-doesn’t-work-out side. It’s a great lesson because you understand how little it has to do with you and that there is no success at all without massive amounts of failure….For most people, that first ‘no’ is devastating. The difference in what we do for a living is that the goods you’re selling is you — it’s not a set of encyclopedias. So when they say, ‘No thank you,’ it’s personal. You have to be tough-skinned enough to say, ‘I’m going back in there.’”
—George Clooney, actor, director, screenwriter
