The water color process takes me and itself to a destination I hadn't even known existed. . . Whatever I put down on the page, the paint will dry as it wants to.
You have to pay attention to the work on the page and make it as good as possible because it could be your last.
I don't pay any attention to what the 'Baltimore Sun' editorial page says about anything.
Like a blinking cursor on an empty page, it was just the first thing. The beginning of the beginning. But at least it was done.
If you take a book with you on a journey," Mo had said when he put the first one in her box, "an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it. . . yes, books are like flypaper—memories cling to the printed page better than anything else.
Cancer's only one page in my life, and I will not allow this page to impact the rest of my life.
Does G get angry because it follows F in the alphabet? Does page 68 in a book start a revolution because it follows 67?
Sometimes you do feel a script that glows in your hand the moment you start reading it. By page four of Shakespeare in Love, I said, 'I have to be in this movie.
It has always been on the written page that the world has come into focus for me.
I want the reader to turn the page and keep on turning to the end.

That is the limit of IMDb. You can get into any IMDb page and hack stuff.
Everyone is on the same page and putting their best foot forward.
One of the glories of doing the book So You Want to Be President? was the shifts in tone, where I was able to be humorous and then very serious. And the impeachment page is certainly the best example of that. I didn't have to think too much about how to present this one. I got the idea right away that a good way of showing the shame of President Nixon would be to put him down in the shadows under the Lincoln Monument, with Lincoln sort of glaring down at him from an elevated, better-lit position.
The President's announcement sounded less like a national energy plan than like a page from an election-year play book. This Administration's plan to reduce obscene oil company profits is to regulate them less.

I started reading the Bible. All of a sudden the words jumped off the page and became real.
Serious reading is hardly a social activity and every halfway serious reader is perpetually subject to a form of coitus interruptus. Family members or friends who lack the desire, the courage, or the opportunity to burst in on you when there's some indication that you could be sexually entwined will seldom hesitate to interject themselves between you and a page, even though the act of reading is often as intimate and intense as a full-fledged carnal embrace.
