“Ultimately, your theme will find you. You don't have to go looking for...” — Richard Russo Quote

“Ultimately, your theme will find you. You don't have to go looking for it.”

“When authors who write literary fiction begin to write screenplays, everybody assumes that's the end. Here's another who's never going to write well again.”

“When I start getting close to the end of a novel, something registers in the back of my mind for the next novel, so that I usually don't write, or take notes. And I certainly don't begin. I just allow things to percolate for a while.”

“Failure has been the great theme of my life, I think.”

“Each of my records has a different focus, a different theme.”

“My films are based on themes, so I always go for theme tracks and background score.”
