“I'm an ecumenical reader, grew up with all sorts of fiction, teach wri...” — Justin Cronin Quote

I'm an ecumenical reader, grew up with all sorts of fiction, teach writing, went to the Iowa Writers' Workshop, so my tastes and interests are broad.

Writers who pretend that everything they're doing is completely new are full of it.

Choosing writing as a career, just by itself, is a measure of not being a calculating person.

So, whenever I'm writing, I'm writing in the presence of all the other books I've read and I think we all are.

That literary-popular distinction is, in my view, vastly overstated. At the far poles there are clearly books that are purely commercial and purely literary, written for audiences that want to see the same thing enacted over and over and over again. But the middle is where most people read and most people write.

Despite the fact Hollywood classes me as a 'type,' I find the roles broad enough to handle all the acting technique I can summon together.

Because I was promoted as a sort of a siren and played all those sexy broads, people made the mistake of thinking I was like that off the screen. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Everything on 'Broad City' that my character has drawn is my stuff from years and years ago.

There's a broad range of male rappers, so if they're going out on a limb and they sound different, it's okay, because we have 20 other rappers doing what the radio wants... as far as females, there aren't as many, so if you want to compete, you have to sound just like this, because that's the only thing hot right now.
