Andrew Davies Writing Quotations

The older I get, the more fun it is to write young people. It's just a holiday from what is becoming old age, really.

The joy of writing drama is putting yourself into different people's heads.

I had a very high opinion of my father's judgement of things and he said, "You better get a job that pays the bills because a writer doesn't make any money. If possible, get a job that allows you to write in your spare time."

I was getting rewarded for writing well, from about the age of five or six. A teacher would say, "Look what Andrew has written," and I thought, "Maybe I could be a writer."

I always do like to write love stories, even if they end tragically.
