I'm very comfortable with tweeting, I have a very active author Facebook page, I Skype book clubs all over the world.

Digg is like your newspaper, but rather than a handful of editors determining what's on the front page, the masses do.

When I'm the one who sits down and looks at the blank page and writes it out all the way, then I'll call it my script.

Page one of any economic plan to get America working is to give a pink slip to the current resident in the White House.

The Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower. They're monumental. They're straight out of Page 52 in your school history book.

As I've explained to my wife many times, you have to kill your wife or mistress to get on the front page of the papers.

The race for the White House is normally an event suffused with drama, sucking eyeballs to the page all over the globe.

When Shakespeare was writing, he wasn't writing for stuff to lie on the page; it was supposed to get up and move around.

Well, if you're writing a thriller, you have to have your character in mortal jeopardy on page 1 or it's not a thriller.

I think when I'm drawing, I'm seeing what's happening on the page almost as if it were unfolding like a movie in my head.

There is no worse place for an intelligence service like CIA to be than on Page 1, above the fold in your daily newspaper.

When I am writing a story it feels as real as the life I am experiencing off the page. It's an emotional illusion, I guess.

I like a lot of modern art. I like Chuck Close a lot. It doesn't necessarily directly influence the work I draw on the page.

I am influenced by books which don't have their eye on the endgame, but which try to be entertaining on each and every page.

Put simply, if an interface is poorly designed, I will not see the data I looked for, even if it is right there on the page.

I don't have an e-reader. One reason is that I like to dog-ear the page when I find a particularly good sentence or passage.

I guess I could say that I pursue questions that interest me in ways that interest me on the page, but that's awfully vague.

I remember when I was trying to do 'Metropolitan,' in breaks I would read a page of two of Jane Austen as a palate-cleanser.

It's emotional to be leaving 'Page Three.' It's been my life since I was 18, and I'm so grateful for the chances it gave me.

Well, I'm a slow writer. For me, a good day is a page, maybe a page and a half. I'd love to be more efficient, but I am not.

I hope I helped change people's preconceptions about 'Page 3' girls by appearing on Newsnight and at the Oxford Union debate.

I try to write something that would interest anybody and keep them turning the page. You must have a plot and good storyline.

If you like the precision and concision of poetry, a page of prose is unsatisfying in a certain way. And poetry is so direct.

A page a day means I need to focus on a gag a day, and that's great for laughs but bad for plot, and I'm primarily a plot guy.

Children can't help but create: they need to put their mind on the page, they want to paint, to sculpt, to write short stories.

I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.

I see the role of the writer as creating a room with big windows and leaving the reader to imagine. It's a meeting on the page.

It's more important to me to get an e-mail that says, 'I saw your page and it changed my life,' than how many hits the page got.
