All the negatives that hector and stalk aspiring writers -- despair, addictions, self-destructiveness, anger, fear, economic hardship -- can be used as part of your art. I'm not saying that struggling makes you a better artist, but you often can find gifts in the toughest situations.(less)

I've hated things I've written, often for months on end, but my impulse to go forward is usually very intense -- and so I just keep on writing.(less)

Bill’s Quotes

“Jimmy: One day, when I'm no longer spending my days running a sweet-stall, I may write a book about us all. It's all here. (slapping his forehead) Written in flames a mile high. And it won't be recollected in tranquillity either, picking daffodils with Auntie Wordsworth. It'll be recollected in fire, and blood. My blood.”
― John Osborne, Look Back in Anger

“You see I learnt at an early age what it was to be angry - angry and helpless. And I can never forget it. I knew more about - love... betrayal... and death, when I was ten years old than you will probably ever know in your life.”
― John Osborne, Look Back in Anger
