More on Writing
“My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to express them──by which means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents.”
“All these people helped make this book possible. But let me make one thing clear: If there are any errors or omissions in this book, these people are not responsible. In the end, there is only one person responsible for what I write, and that person, of course, is: Donald Trump.”
“Sometimes I'll jot a clever turn of phrase down. Sometimes I'll just remember it.”
More on Storytelling
“A friend gave me a drug for attention deficit disorder, because he's afflicted, but I'm not. So what happened to me is I suddenly had an extra-long attention span. People would tell me a story, and it would end, and I'd get all mad. "Come on, man, there has to be more to that story."”
“If you have no conflict, you have no story. That's number one. That's a rule of novels.”
“Make them laugh, make them cry, make them wait.”
