«You can point out to people how to make what they do better, but you can't teach somebody how to be a great writer, just like you can't teach somebody how to be a fast runner. You can work on their technique, but either they're fast or they're not; either they can write or they can't.»

Author: Richard Price
«At some point I started wondering what it means to teach for free in an inner-city school - what's in it for me?»
Author: Richard Price
«I have offices all over the place and I avoid work everywhere. I don't like to write - I like to be finished.»
Author: Richard Price
«I don't need all that much - I just need to know who my characters are and what kind of jam they're going to get into, and I'll write myself out of their jam.»
Author: Richard Price
«Writers spend three years rearranging 26 letters of the alphabet. It's enough to make you lose your mind day by day.»
