Lately, because computer technology has made self-publishing an easier and less expensive venture, I'm getting a lot of review copies of amateur books by writers who would be better advised to hone their craft before committing it to print. The best thing you can do as a beginning writer is to write, write, write - and read, read, read. Concentrating on publication prematurely is a mistake. You don't pick up a violin and expect to play Carnegie Hall within the year - yet somehow people forget that writing also requires technical skills that need to be learned, practiced, honed. If I had a dollar for every person I've met who thought, with no prior experience, they could sit down and write a novel and instantly win awards and make their living as a writer, I'd be a rich woman today. It's unrealistic, and it's also mildly insulting to professional writers who have worked hard to perfect their craft. Of course, then you hear stories about people like J.K. Rowling, who did sit down with no prior experience and write a worldwide best-seller...but such people are as rare as hen's teeth. Every day I work with talented, accomplished writers who have many novels in print and awards to their name and who are 'still' struggling to make a living. The thing I often find myself wanting to say to new writers is: Write because you love writing, learn your craft, be patient, and be realistic. Anais Nin said about writing, "It should be a necessity, as the sea needs to heave, and I call it bre ~ Terri Windling
Carnegie Hall quotes by Terri Windling
I feel I have had a very interesting life, but I am rather hoping there is still more to come. I still haven't captained the England cricket team, or sung at Carnegie Hall! ~ Jeffrey Archer
Carnegie Hall quotes by Jeffrey Archer
I wish I lived next to Carnegie Hall. Then, if someone asked me how to get to my house, I would just say 'Practice, practice, practice, and then take a left.' ~ Demetri Martin
Carnegie Hall quotes by Demetri Martin
Now what's important is that they have an attitude. Everybody has a look, but not everybody has cultivated what their stage persona is. And so when you're dealing with actors, it just makes it more difficult, because you have to help them come up with one. You know, Johnny Depp has no Johnny Depp character when he's onstage. You haven't seen An Evening With Johnny Depp at Carnegie Hall. ~ Bruce Vilanch
Carnegie Hall quotes by Bruce Vilanch
Roaring like a tiger turns some children into pianists who debut at Carnegie Hall but only crushes others. Coddling gives some the excuse to fail and others the chance to succeed. ~ Ayelet Waldman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Ayelet Waldman
You know the question: 'How do you get to Carnegie Hall?' Answer: 'Practise?' Well, in my case, I got there by not practising. I didn't finish my music degree. And when I got into the pop world, I decided not to conform because I figured that the point of being an artist was that you shouldn't be like anyone else. ~ Rufus Wainwright
Carnegie Hall quotes by Rufus Wainwright
When you hear a great two-track of a performance in Carnegie Hall, let's say, it sounds like you're right there at that moment. It's true to reality. And the closer it gets, once it gets too technical, it becomes very tinny to hear notes. It doesn't sound right. It has to be natural. ~ Tony Bennett
Carnegie Hall quotes by Tony Bennett
My first hip-hop performance was at Carnegie Hall with Wyclef, ... I got a little feature and he announced me as the 'hip-hop violinist.' The next night I played at the Apollo. ~ Miri Ben-Ari
Carnegie Hall quotes by Miri Ben-Ari
I actually was the accompanist for a couple of the musicals I was in growing up. ~ Kirsten Nelson
Carnegie Hall quotes by Kirsten Nelson
It was one of the most exciting, perfect evenings of my life, my solo debut at Carnegie Hall. And knowing we were all there to raise money for Gay Men's Health Crisis made the evening an extraordinary experience. ~ Bernadette Peters
Carnegie Hall quotes by Bernadette Peters
When you play a concerto with a small orchestra, you don't feel it is as important as Carnegie Hall. You try to work out all the little problems. Once that's all done, trust comes in. ~ Itzhak Perlman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Itzhak Perlman
They were poor and living in the farthest corners of the Bronx. How did they afford tickets? "Mary got a quarter," Friedman says. "There was a Mary who was a ticket taker, and if you gave Mary a quarter, she would let you stand in the second balcony, without a ticket." ... and what you learn in that world is that through your own powers of persuasion and initiative, you can take your kids to Carnegie Hall. There is no better lesson for a budding lawyer than that. The garment industry was boot camp for the professionals. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Carnegie Hall quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
I'm going to Iowa for an award. Then I'm appearing at Carnegie Hall, it's sold out. Then I'm sailing to France to be honored by the French government - I'd give it all up for one erection. ~ Groucho Marx
Carnegie Hall quotes by Groucho Marx
How do I get to Carnegie Hall? ~ Mischa Elman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Mischa Elman
That night at Carnegie Hall was a great experience. When the thing was first put up to me I was a little dubious, not knowing just what would be expected of us. ~ Benny Goodman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Benny Goodman
What makes knowledge automatic is what gets you to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice. ~ Alison Gopnik
Carnegie Hall quotes by Alison Gopnik
The beauty of a Stradivarius is that you can play in Carnegie Hall without any amplification, and it has this - the sound has, inside it, has something that projects, and it has multifaceted sound, something that kind of gets lost when you use amplification anyway. ~ Joshua Bell
Carnegie Hall quotes by Joshua Bell
Consider how many times you've seen either a crashed plane or a crashed car. It's entirely possible you've seen roughly as many of each - yet many of those cars were on the road next to you, whereas the planes were probably on another continent, transmitted to you via the Internet or television. In the United States, for instance, the total number of people who have lost their lives in commercial plane crashes since the year 2000 would not be enough to fill Carnegie Hall even half full. In contrast, the number of people in the United States killed in car accidents over that same time is greater than the entire population of Wyoming. Simply ~ Brian Christian
Carnegie Hall quotes by Brian Christian
You get more nervous in front of a lot of people. That's why, when you play a concerto, you play with a small orchestra, in some place where you don't feel that it is as important as Carnegie Hall. ~ Itzhak Perlman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Itzhak Perlman
I've been involved with Carnegie Hall for the last 13 years, and Chairman for the last six. I feel really good about what we've done growing our educational programs there, building a board that has made Carnegie Hall really a world-class institution. ~ Sanford I. Weill
Carnegie Hall quotes by Sanford I. Weill
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. How do you get away from it? Improvise. ~ Mark Steyn
Carnegie Hall quotes by Mark Steyn
I did get to sing at Carnegie Hall when they were made Landmarks! I sang ALL THAT JAZZ with the NY Pops ... what a total thrill. ~ Karen Mason
Carnegie Hall quotes by Karen Mason
On the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue sits the most famous concert hall in the world. No less a figure than when Tchaikovsky led the first performances in 1891. Virtually every major artist has performed there. There is simply no place like it. The first time I stepped foot in Carnegie Hall was in 1964. ~ Leonard Slatkin
Carnegie Hall quotes by Leonard Slatkin
Although we are being presented in Carnegie Hall, we have to furnish a budget for our guest stars, and for the music writing - which is a huge budget in any orchestra that plays popular music. ~ Skitch Henderson
Carnegie Hall quotes by Skitch Henderson
I'm on a side of a road somewhere, stuck in the middle of a very deep hole, with no way of getting out. Never mind how I got in there, it's not relevant to the story. I'll invent a back-story… I was walking to get pizza and a chasm opened up in the earth and I fell in, and now I'm at the bottom of this hole, screaming for help. And along comes you. Now, maybe you just keep walking. You know, there's a strange guy screaming from the center of the Earth. It's perhaps best to just ignore him. But let's say that you don't. Let's say that you stop. The sensible thing to do in this situation is to call down to me and say "I'm going to look for a ladder. I will be right back." But you don't do that. Instead you sit down at the edge of this abyss, and then you push yourself forward, and jump. And when you land at the bottom of the hole and dust yourself off, I'm like "What the hell are you doing?! Now there are two of us in this hole!" And you look at me and say, "Well yeah, but now I'm highly motivated to get you out." This is what I love about novels, both reading them and writing them. They jump into the abyss to be with you where you are ~ John Green
Carnegie Hall quotes by John Green
I wanted to be a concert pianist at Carnegie Hall; that is what I wanted to do from really early on. ~ Kirsten Nelson
Carnegie Hall quotes by Kirsten Nelson
Carnegie Hall is as good as they say it is. It's not like Stonehenge which looks great in books but then you go there and it's a pile of rocks next to a highway. There's actually a highway right next to it, but you don't see that in pictures. ~ Bill Burr
Carnegie Hall quotes by Bill Burr
I knew the full 'Judy Garland Carnegie Hall' double album set at age 2. And then my mother wondered why I was gay. I was like, 'Are you nuts? You would make me get on the table to sing Judy Garland songs and you're upset?' ~ Mario Cantone
Carnegie Hall quotes by Mario Cantone
The world is full of people who have dreams of playing at Carnegie Hall, of running a marathon, and of owning their own business. The difference between the people who make it across the finish line and everyone else is one simple thing: an action plan. ~ John Tesh
Carnegie Hall quotes by John Tesh
It's every singer's dream to get to Carnegie Hall. ~ Megan Hilty
Carnegie Hall quotes by Megan Hilty
My mother, Minuetta Kessler, was a concert pianist and composer who performed at Carnegie Hall and Town Hall. ~ Ronald Kessler
Carnegie Hall quotes by Ronald Kessler
The most memorable performance was my appearance in concert in Carnegie Hall. The first standup to do so. ~ Shelley Berman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Shelley Berman
New York has all the answers. People go to the YMHA, the English-Speaking Union, Carnegie Hall, the New School for Social Research, and find all the answers. The city lives by slogans, isms, and fast sure answers. New York is saying to me right now: you, Jean Louise Finch, are not reacting according to our doctrines regarding your kind, therefore you do not exist. ~ Harper Lee
Carnegie Hall quotes by Harper Lee
I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, which was in Carnegie Hall, which itself was exciting - just to walk into it. ~ Gena Rowlands
Carnegie Hall quotes by Gena Rowlands
Write poorly. Suck. Write awful. Terribly. Frightfully. Don't care. Turn off the inner editor. Let yourself write. Let it flow.
Let yourself fail.
Do something crazy.
Write fifty thousand words in the month of
November.
I did it.
It was fun, it was insane, it was one thousand six
hundred and sixty-seven words a day.
It was possible.
But you have to turn off your inner critic.
Off completely.
Just write. Quickly. In bursts. With joy. If you can't write, run away for a few.Come back. Write again.
Writing is like anything else.
You won't get good at it immediately.
It's a craft, you have to keep getting better.
You don't get to Juilliard unless you practice.
If you want to get to Carnegie Hall, practice, practice, practice.
...Or give them a lot of money.
Like anything else, it takes ten thousand hours to master.
Just like Malcolm Gladwell says.
So write. Fail. Get your thoughts down. Let it rest. Let it marinate. Then edit.
But don't edit as you type,
that just slows the brain down.
Find a daily practice,
for me it's blogging every day.
And it's fun.
The more you write, the easier it gets. The more it is a flow, the less a worry. It's not for school, it's not for a grade, it's just to get your thoughts out there.
You know they want to come out. So keep at it. Make it a practice. And write poorly, write awfully, write with abandon and it m ~ Colleen Hoover
Carnegie Hall quotes by Colleen Hoover
Road racing is rock 'n roll; track is Carnegie Hall. ~ Marty Liquori
Carnegie Hall quotes by Marty Liquori
My wife, she is so good. She was a famous singer - had a show in Carnegie Hall, did a big city tour for RCA. Then she made the mistake of marrying me. The next year, another tour, but the third year, she had Mario and said, 'Either I'm a mother or a singer.' ~ Sirio Maccioni
Carnegie Hall quotes by Sirio Maccioni
Don't I have a choice in this? But when she looks behind her, the answer is
clear. There are two guards waiting to make sure that she has no choice at all.
And as they lead her away, she thinks of Mr. Durkin. With a bitter laugh, Risa
realizes that he may get his wish after all. Someday he may see her hands playing
in Carnegie Hall. Unfortunately, the rest of Risa won't be there. ~ Neal Shusterman
Carnegie Hall quotes by Neal Shusterman
I'm a very comfortable and happy-go-lucky old man. I never wanted to be great, because I'd just get worried. ~ Tom T. Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Tom T. Hall
Oh...I cant. I cant dance."
"What, not at all? Not even when you hear ABBA?"
"I do my very best not to hear ABBA. ~ Alexis Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Alexis Hall
Frank," I said when I reached him late that afternoon, "do you remember in 1978 when you told me that Bill Walsh was the most impressive young coach you'd ever met?" "Did I?" he replied modestly. "And then you told me how impressed you were with that young attorney general in Arkansas, a guy named Bill Clinton?" "Well, I remember thinking highly of him," he responded, still trying to play it down. "Yes, you did," I reminded him. "So Frank, now that Walsh is headed to the Hall of Fame, and Clinton is headed to the White House, I'm calling you for only one reason. "Who do you like in the fifth tomorrow at Santa Anita? ~ Al Michaels
Carnegie Hall quotes by Al Michaels
I'd heard of writers who say they hate to write. Not me. I love to do it. ~ Donald Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Donald Hall
That coxcomb skamelar ain't worth teats on a bull. ~ Aaron-Michael Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Aaron-Michael Hall
Why did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Jasper, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed. Cars being brought to the door. Dogs standing with drooping tails, dejected eyes. Wandering back to their baskets in the hall when the sound of the car dies away. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Carnegie Hall quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Do you have any idea who you've been dealing with?"
"This is big-time! Interstate! Federal! You're not in a precinct, are you?"
"This goes way beyond you! This goes deep!"
"We've been on to this guy for a long time, Shaka."
"The Virginia Mafia! Nobody fucks with them!"
"We've got him in a room down the hall
this guy gave up his own sister! You're lucky you got out alive! ~ Edward Conlon
Carnegie Hall quotes by Edward Conlon
Charles gave his hat to Mary, set his lapels, wished he were dead, then went down the hall and into his ordeal. ~ John Fowles
Carnegie Hall quotes by John Fowles
In a way, 'Billy Elliot' was autobiographical. I can't dance, but I think his dancing was me discovering about writing and literature. ~ Lee Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Lee Hall
Good intention" is a hall pass through history, a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream. An ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Carnegie Hall quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Now, Diane, leave her alone." My father's voice sounded from down the hall and I heard his footsteps approach. Soon he was also in the doorway. He gave me a quick once-over and nodded. "She looks really good. Hopefully he'll be concentrating on the way she looks so she doesn't have to talk so much. ~ Penny Reid
Carnegie Hall quotes by Penny Reid
It's amazing. I can't believe how brilliant the whole thing is - my daughter, Georgia, is just wonderful. ~ Edward Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Edward Hall
Then we'll be lost together, and we'll figure it out together. Whatever that means. Whatever it takes. I'm with you, and I'll be with you for as long as you want me. ~ Alexis Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Alexis Hall
I began this path with a sense that an individual should be able to live in freedom among his neighbors, and not as a host for parasites, even if those parasites were endowed with power by the state. I had a sense that the individual should not be at the mercy of the bully or the mob, even if the bully or the mob was sanctioned by the state. I had a sense that if an individual was the target of aggression and I stood with him, or her, or them, I would have the satisfaction of knowing I had opposed villainy, and if others who shared my beliefs would join in the fight, then perhaps a measure at a time, evil would not prosper. I believed that each time malevolence and iniquity were thwarted the chances were increased that I could live in freedom … that I would not be at the mercy of the aggression of others."
He captured them as he looked them in the eyes across the silent hall. "The measure of success from acting on these simple truths is all around us, hangs above us in the sky, pervades the system of our sun … and may now be found among the stars."
~ William C. Samples
Carnegie Hall quotes by William C. Samples
In the little hall leading to it was a rack holding various Socialist or radical newspapers, tracts, and pamphlets in very small print and on very bad paper. The subjects treated were technical Marxist theories. ~ Agnes Smedley
Carnegie Hall quotes by Agnes Smedley
He wasn't here to satisfy my idle curiosities. And it held its own fascinations: a man who talked like an innocent and fucked like a sybarite. ~ Alexis Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Alexis Hall
If you can find a passion at a young age, somewhere between fifteen and thirty, if you can find that passion, I can pretty much guarantee you that you can be sixty-five and still love that passion and still have a reason to dance out of bed and down the hall every morning. ~ Stevie Nicks
Carnegie Hall quotes by Stevie Nicks
Empty - it was utterly empty here. Like a tomb. "Tam?" I called. I bounded up the front steps and into the house. I rushed inside, swearing as I slid on a piece of broken porcelain - the remnants of a vase. Slowly, I turned in the front hall. It looked as if an army had marched through. Tapestries hung in shreds, the marble banister was fractured, and the chandeliers lay broken on the ground, reduced to mounds of shattered crystal. "Tamlin?" I shouted. Nothing. The windows had all been blown out. "Lucien?" No one answered. "Tam?" My voice echoed through the house, mocking me. Alone in the wreckage of the manor, I sank to my knees. He was gone. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Carnegie Hall quotes by Sarah J. Maas
My first class is biology. I can't find it and get my first demerit for wandering the hall. It is 8:50 in the morning. Only 699 days and 7 class periods until graduation. ~ Laurie Halse Anderson
Carnegie Hall quotes by Laurie Halse Anderson
The point of theatre is transformation: to make an extraordinary event out of ordinary material right in front of an audience's eyes. Where the germ of the idea came from is pretty much irrelevant. What matters to every theatre maker I know is speaking clearly to the audience 'right now.' ~ Lee Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Lee Hall
Love is the cruelest myth of all. ~ Marie Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Marie Hall
I think it's even harder because I think as always, Hollywood is sort of glamour central for the world, and the entire world looks to it for not only entertainment, but the whole idea of the youth factor and youth being sold to our culture via young actors and actresses. ~ Anthony Michael Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Anthony Michael Hall
My boobs are willing; the rest of me will come along. I'm not one hundred percent sold on you like they seem to be. ~ Helena Hunting
Carnegie Hall quotes by Helena Hunting
I turn and I walk my tray to the conveyor and I drop it on the belt and I start to walk out of the Dining Hall. As I head through the Glass Corridor separating the men and women, I see Lilly sitting alone at a table. She looks up at me and she smiles and our eyes meet and I smile back. She looks down and I stop walking and I stare at her. She looks up and she smiles again. She is as beautiful a girl as I have ever seen. Her eyes, her lips, her teeth, her hair, her skin. The black circles beneath her eyes, the scars I can see on her wrists, the ridiculous clothes she wears that are ten sizes too big, the sense of sadness and pain she wears that is even bigger. I stand and I stare at her, just stare stare stare. Men walk past me and other women look at me and LIlly doesn't understand what I'm doing or why I'm doing it and she's blushing and it's beautiful. I stand there and I stare. I stare because I know where I am going I'm not going to see any beauty. They don't sell crack in Mansions or fancy Department Stores and you don't go to luxury Hotels or Country Clubs to smoke it. Strong, cheap liquor isn't served in five-star Restaurants or Champagne Bars and it isn't sold in gourmet Groceries or boutique Liquor stores. I'm going to go to a horrible place in a horrible neighborhood run by horrible people providing product for the worst Society has to offer. There will be no beauty there, nothing even resembling beauty. There will be Dealers and Addicts and Criminals and Whores and ~ James Frey
Carnegie Hall quotes by James Frey
If you knew how hard I found it to stay on my side of the hall last night after we finished watching the movie…" He shook his head. "Your parents absolutely wouldn't approve of the direction that my thoughts are going. ~ Rachel Hawthorne
Carnegie Hall quotes by Rachel Hawthorne
I am one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans. I still listen to that stuff incessantly. Laura Nyro does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriter Hall of Fame? Absolutely. ~ Paul Stanley
Carnegie Hall quotes by Paul Stanley
If to be great means to be good, then Denis Diderot was a little man. But if to be great means to do great things in the teeth of great obstacles, then none can refuse him a place in the temple of the Immortals. ~ Evelyn Beatrice Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Evelyn Beatrice Hall
He smiled. "I guess somewhere in a corner of our hearts, we are always twenty. ~ Martha Hall Kelly
Carnegie Hall quotes by Martha Hall Kelly
There is very little success where there is very little laughter. ~ Andrew Carnegie
Carnegie Hall quotes by Andrew Carnegie
I've had two callers ask, 'Did you ever work for someone who is poorer than you are?' Their idea is it takes a rich person to give you a job because jobs are something that are given to you, an inferior, from on high. ~ John Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by John Hall
I can't move. My mind's like a dance hall fire, a crowd of terrified voices all screaming instructions at once. ~ Alan Moore
Carnegie Hall quotes by Alan Moore
Be my date for Dylan's party, Moe. Me and You, please. I miss us ~ S.E. Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by S.E. Hall
The King emerged from the library, paperwork in hand, eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, what is it, what is it?" he said crossly. "Can you not let me work for five minutes at a time?"

The girls burst into angry cries. Kale let out another piercing shriek.

"Him-him-him-" said Delphinium, pointing a shaking finger at Mr. Hyette, who laughed still. "He-he-him!"

"He-he-he was spying on us!"

"And we weren't even wearing our boots!"

"Or even our stockings!"

Thunpfwhap. The King threw Mr. Hyette up against the paneling. My Hyette's head slammed against the wainscot.

Kale stopped midscream, hiccupped, and giggled.

"Mr. Hyeete!" said the King.

Mr. Hyette struggled against the King's steel grip.

"Ow," he said. "I say, ow!"

The King yanked Mr. Hyette from the wall and grabbed him by the scruff of his fluffy cravat. He handled Mr. Hyette out the entrance hall doors, slamming them behind him. Outside, gravel scuffled.

"I say," said Bramble, in an impeccable impersonation of Mr. Hyette. "I say, I say! I say-this Royal Business could actually be quite a lot of fun! ~ Heather Dixon Wallwork
Carnegie Hall quotes by Heather Dixon Wallwork
The greatest astonishment of my life was the discovery that the man who does the work is not the man who gets rich ~ Andrew Carnegie
Carnegie Hall quotes by Andrew Carnegie
The form of free verse is as binding and as liberating as the form of a rondeau. ~ Donald Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Donald Hall
Exclusive attention to the person who is speaking to you is very important. Nothing else is so flattering as that. ~ Dale Carnegie
Carnegie Hall quotes by Dale Carnegie
Those partial to drink were hiding faults and dishonesty. They were sloppy souls, even the ones with pleasant manners and fine noses. ~ Sarah Hall
Carnegie Hall quotes by Sarah Hall
Shadows on the wall Noises down the hall Life doesn't frighten me at all Bad dogs barking loud Big ghosts in a cloud Life doesn't frighten me at all. ~ Maya Angelou
Carnegie Hall quotes by Maya Angelou
