Alan Rickman Quotes, Art Quotes, Boys Quotes

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all.

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.
