“I hate editing. I love to write, but I hate to reread my stuff. To rev...” — Barry Hannah Quote

“I hate editing. I love to write, but I hate to reread my stuff. To revise.”

“My dad read history, about a book a day, but only after he retired as a successful bank and insurance man.”

“I was always kind of florid. And full of rhetoric. That was my flaw. My whole time writing, I've had to work against that because it can be a wrecking posture.”

“I work eight hours a day, but I'm not writing all that time. I'm thinking, editing, looking something up. Thinking is what I do a lot of.”

“I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.”

“For film at the beginning of the 20th century, they didn't even know what editing was yet. Actors didn't know how to perform in front of the camera. There wasn't sound.”
