paper pen people writers
Writers are people who put pen to paper every day.
best comedy easy humor illusion imagine people result seriously taking trick work worry
I never worry about people not taking my work seriously as a result of the humor. In the end, the comic's best trick is the illusion that comedy is effortless. That people imagine what he's doing is easy is an occupational hazard.
experience people though truth
Truth be told, I'm not an easy man. I can be an entertaining one, though it's been my experience that most people don't want to be entertained. They want to be comforted.
stay-strong hbo people
HBO is really famous for hiring good people and staying out of their way until they ask for help, or need it. And that reputation is earned.

People often ask me how I make things funny. I don't make things funny.

I'm not an easy man. I can be an entertaining one, though it's been my experience that most people don't want to be entertained. They want to be comforted.

People who imagine themselves to be self-made seldom enjoy examining the process of manufacture in detail.

People in small towns, much more than in cities, share a destiny.

I think that if people are instructed about anything, it should be about the nature of cruelty. And about why people behave so cruelly to each other. And what kind of satisfactions they derive from it. And why there is always a cost, and a price to be paid.
sleep people brain
Sleep is over-rated. Have you ever noticed how it's always recommended to people anybody with half a brain can see need to wake up?
heart people desire
After all, what was the whole wide world but a place for people to yearn for their heart's impossible desires, for those desires to become entrenched in defiance of logic, plausibility, and even the passage of time, as eternal as polished marble.
mistake people loyal
People sometimes get in the habit of being loyal to a mistake.
expression people use
Have you ever noticed that when people use the expression 'I have to say', what follows usually needn't be said?
failures likely quite truth writer
The deepest failures any fiction writer is likely to have are failures of not quite comprehending the truth of the story that he or she is telling.
