Janet Fitch Good Quotations

I write every day... I never get ideas unless I'm actually writing. Ideas I get in the shower don't do me any good.

Life should always be like this. ... Like lingering over a good meal.

You start realizing that good prose is crunchy. There's texture in your mouth as you say it. You realize bad writing, bland writing, has no texture, no taste, no corners in your mouth. I'm a great believer in reading aloud.

The elegance of a really good screenplay, I admire it. I can't do it.
