Rod Serling Quotes About Writing

• Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.

• If you write, fix pipes, grade papers, lay bricks or drive a taxi - do it with a sense of pride. And do it the best you know how. Be cognizant and sympathetic to the guy alongside, because he wants a place in the sun, too. And always...always look past his color, his creed, his religion and the shape of his ears. Look for the whole person. Judge him as the whole person.

• In eleven or twelve years of writing, Mike, I can lay claim to at least this: I have never written beneath myself. I have never written anything that I didn't want my name attached to. I have probed deeper in some scripts and I've been more successful in some than others. But all of them that have been on, you know, I'll take my lick. They're mine and that's the way I wanted them.

• I suppose we think euphemistically that all writers write because they have something to say that is truthful and honest and pointed and important. And I suppose I subscribe to that, too. But God knows when I look back over thirty years of professional writing, I'm hard-pressed to come up with anything that's important. Some things are literate, some things are interesting, some things are classy, but very damn little is important.

• Si realmente eres un buen escritor y mereces ese puesto de honor, entonces, por Dios, escribirás, te leerán y te producirán de alguna manera. Simplemente funciona así. Si no eres más que un simple artesano ordinario del día a día, no diferente de la mayoría, entonces lo más probable es que no triunfes en la escritura.

• Creo que la esencia del argumento siempre ha sido, en primer lugar, que el Gremio no quiere que se escriba por encargo. Y eso ha sido un gran problema a lo largo de los años. Pero, obviamente, para el joven escritor que es injusto y es discriminatorio, y puede ser muy perjudicial para la carrera de uno.

• I find dictating in the mass media particularly good because you're writing for voice anyway; you're writing for people to say a line and, consequently, saying a line through a machine is quite a valid test for the validity of what you're saying.

• Se trata de un proceso que, si no dura toda la vida, se le acerca muchísimo. El escritor se amplía, se hace más profundo, se vuelve más observador, se templa, se vuelve mucho más sabio con el paso del tiempo. No es algo que se le inyecte con una aguja. No es algo que llega en una oleada de luz intermitente y explosiva una noche y dice: "¡Huzzah! ¡Eureka! Ya lo tengo!' y luego procede a escribir la gran novela americana en once días. No funciona así. Es un proceso largo, tedioso, duro y frustrante, pero nunca, nunca te dejes a un lado por el hecho de que sea duro.

• I don't think it's man's function to write. I don't think it's a normal thing like teeth-brushing and going to the bathroom. It's a supered position on the animal.

• Essentially, the scripts are not that different. Let's say, in literary terms, it's the difference between writing horizontally and writing vertically. In live television, you wrote much more vertically. You had to probe people because you didn't have money or sets or any of the physical dimensions that film will allow you. So you generally probed people a little bit more. Film writing is much more horizontal. You can insert anything you want: meadows, battlefields, the Taj Mahal, a cast of thousands. But essentially, writing a story is writing a story.
