165684. I do write long, long character notes – family background, history, details of appearance – much more than will ever appear in the novel. I think this is what lifts a book from that early calculated, artificial stage. – Anne Tyler
165685. I don’t want to say I hear voices; well, actually I do hear voices, but I don’t think it’s supernatural. I think it’s just that when characters are given enough texture and backbone, then lo and behold, they stand on their own. – Anne Tyler
165686. I spend about a year between novels. – Anne Tyler
165687. I’ll write maybe one long paragraph describing the events, then a page or two breaking the events into chapters, and then reams of pages delving into my characters. After that, I’m ready to begin. – Anne Tyler
165688. I would advise any beginning writer to write the first drafts as if no one else will ever read them – without a thought about publication – and only in the last draft to consider how the work will look from the outside. – Anne Tyler

165697. I was standing in the schoolyard waiting for a child when another mother came up to me. Have you found work yet? she asked. Or are you still just writing? – Anne Tyler

165704. I love Tina Turner. I’m one of Tina Turner’s biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material. – Bonnie Tyler
165705. I haven’t had a big hit record in America since 1987. – Bonnie Tyler
165706. I have never gone out of fashion. And do you know why? Because I never sought it. When you don’t seek it, it’s always with you. – Bonnie Tyler
165707. I am itching like hell to play America because I know that if I did the show over there, they would love it. – Bonnie Tyler

165722. The age I’m at now, you go from being a young girl to suddenly you blossom into a woman. You ripen, you know? And then you start to rot. – Liv Tyler
165723. Sure, my childhood was unusual. All these eccentric, wild people frequented our home: rock stars, drag queens, models, bikers, freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment. – Liv Tyler

165736. I don’t think I’m particularly beautiful at all. – Liv Tyler

165749. Now I’m way into suits that I can put on whether I took a shower or not, and wear barefoot and paint my toes black or whatever color the suit is. It’s very cool to wear suits like that. Roll up the sleeves and just say yee-haw. – Steven Tyler

165754. I mean, as long as it doesn’t have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around. – Steven Tyler

165756. I’m not sure about the selling part, but I’ve always found that the things I’ve worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together. – Steven Tyler

165759. Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new. – Steven Tyler

165772. And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first. – Steven Tyler
165773. As you know, I’m androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn’t put on. But you make it in guys’ sizes, and suddenly they’re wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don’t care. – Steven Tyler
165774. Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that’s dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that’s what happened. – Steven Tyler

165781. I told him that I can play it if he wanted to write it, and I would be willing to try and go there emotionally. I did not know as an actress if I would be able to get there, because when you feel really deep emotions or pain, you don’t want to go back there. – Hunter Tylo
165782. I was moaning and grieving as if I lost one of my own children. It was probably one of the most real feelings I ever had on the show. I was just sitting there wailing with no lines. I was beat after that storyline. – Hunter Tylo
165783. If I was a bad character that got away with murder like we see on other shows, I do not think I would like it because that sends a message that you can do these horrible things and never pay for it. – Hunter Tylo
165784. In September, I left the show. We were going through discussions and negotiations, and I had been on the show for about 11 years, and there were some things that I was asking for that I didn’t feel were the moon or the stars. – Hunter Tylo

165788. So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better. – Hunter Tylo

165792. Unfortunately, since the Sept. 11 tragedy, our business is not doing too well. – Hunter Tylo
165793. There was a storyline this year where Taylor lied to Brooke. It was supposed to be set up in a way that I was so outraged by her that I let it stay. I thought that was human, which was great. – Hunter Tylo
