After I left college I thought, very naively, that either you became someone interesting - an artist - or you went into academia. If you ended up in an office you were dull and lacking. And I ended up in an office. Joshua Ferris
Health, money. That's what people worried about in the 14th century as much as today. I find it so much more interesting than the supposed activities of kings, queens, generals. Peter Ackroyd
I believe the most intricate plot won't matter much to readers if they don't care about the characters, especially in a series. So I try to focus hard on making each character, whether villain or hero, have an interesting flaw that readers can relate to. Jeff Abbott
I don't find myself interesting as a person and the details I find boring, quite frankly. You could sum it up in a few words or sentences really: came from nothing. Self-educated. Luck. Energy. Curiosity. Ambition. That's it. Nothing at all can illuminate the work as far as I can tell. Peter Ackroyd
I don't plan on going back to legal work. I wanted an international career, and finance seemed to be where some interesting career opportunities were. Nick Johnson
I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about. John Green
I find my husband's family history fascinating, as they can trace the family lineage back to ancestors who fought, and died, in the first battle of the Revolution, as well as to many other interesting people. Kim Edwards
I just do the best I can and write something interesting, to tell stories in an interesting way and move forward from there. Anthony Bourdain
I like Louboutins, but some women think they can just put on Louboutins and they're stylish, and that's not the case. Someone can go into T.J. Maxx or Ross, pick out some clothes and own it. As long as you have that eye for creativity and know how to put it together, it's so much more interesting. Dhani Jones
I love making YouTube videos. I love Tumblr, I love Twitter. I love talking with people I find interesting about stuff I find interesting, and the Internet is a great way to do that. John Green
I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read - they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting. Russell banks
I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles. Pete Sampras
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now. Jonathan Carroll
I strike up conversations all the time and it is very interesting, finding out about things I know nothing about. Peter Ackroyd
I think books with weak or translucent plots can survive if the character being drawn along the path is rich, interesting and multi-faceted. The opposite is not true. Michael Connelly
I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are. Nora Ephron
