Famous quotes by Nick Hornby:

"There's a hundred million different ways of writing, and it takes you a long time to sort through that stuff. And I think it takes anyone a long time to find a voice."

"The natural state of the football fan is bitter disappointment, no matter what the score."

"Everything's complicated, even those things that seem flat in their bleakness or sadness."

"I still maintain that music is the best way of getting the self-expression job done."

"All I want to do is make sure that I continue to try to exploit the potential I have."

"I don't think that most songwriters can ever anticipate quite what their songs are going to mean to people."

"I think a lot of unpublished writers feel the same way. They're not getting anywhere, and nobody's listening to them. You do get frustrated."

"Have you got any soul?" a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends, I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I've got loads, too much, more than I can handle. I wish I could spread it a bit more evenly, I want to tell her, get a better balance, but I can't seem to get it sorted. I can see she wouldn't be interested in my internal stock control problems though, so I simply point to where I keep the soul I have, right by the exit, just next to the blues."

"It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party."

"We can't be as good as we'd want to, so the question then becomes, how do we cope with our own badness?"

"I don't want my books to exclude anyone, but if they have to, then I would rather they excluded the people who feel they are too smart for them!"

"Sequels are very rarely a good idea, and in any case, the success of the book changed my relationship with the club in some ways."

"Radio football is football reduced to its lowest common denominator."
