"Good habits are worth being fanatical about."

Being

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"More than a half, maybe as much as two-thirds of my life as a writer is rewriting. I wouldn't say I have a talent that's special. It strikes me that I have an unusual kind of stamina."

Life

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"I had been a student in Vienna, and one of the neat little things I had found out was about that zoo. It was a good debut novel for me to have published. I was 26 or 27 when it was published. I already had a kid and would soon have a second."

Reading

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"No adult in my family would ever tell me anything about who my father was. I knew from an older cousin - only four years older than I am - everything, or what little I could discover about him."

Family

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"I have pretty thick skin, and I think if you're going to be in this business, if you're going to be an actor or a writer, you better have a thick skin."

Business

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"There's no reason you should write any novel quickly."

Reason

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"Most places we leave in childhood grow less, not more, fancy."

Nostalgia

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"I grew up around books - my grandmother's house, where I lived as a small child, was full of books. My father was a history teacher, and he loved the Russian novels. There were always books around."

Books

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"Ruth Cole was a novelist, novelists are not at their best when they go off half-cocked. She believed that she would prepare what she was going to tell the police - preferably in writing."

Work

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"Where our desires "come from"; that is a dark, winding road."

Desire
