I was conscious of being wordy as a child. I was a terrible talker. I memorised the Latin names of flowers at five; I was shown off as a freak. My father encouraged me to be wordier than I was: he'd been a street orator at the time of Mosley, and his ideal primary concert speech was Henry V's speech before Harfleur.

Simon Schama

Alan Moore's writing is almost novelistic. It's very intricate and wordy and smart.

Adrianne Palicki

I'd never done a straight play before, never, and it was very hard work - really, really hard work. It was dense, really wordy, and I was determined to learn every word of it - not just skip over bits and pieces.

Bette Midler

I've always written songs that were confessional, acoustic, wordy - my writing style matches my personality. The music always has to match the mouth it comes out of.

Camila Cabello

'Candida' was difficult: stimulating but very wordy.

Frank Dillane

Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.

George Eliot

I decline all noisy, wordy, confused, and personal controversies.

Josiah Warren

Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed.

Kanye West

I had never thought of myself as a dramatist, and, for really good technical results, the thought came too late: a man of letters has become too wordy to write economically for the stage.

Laurence Housman

I've always been very wordy; I've got a great vocabulary.

Lemmy

EVOO is extra-virgin olive oil. I first coined 'EVOO' on my cooking show because saying 'extra virgin olive oil' over and over was wordy, and I'm an impatient girl - that's why I make 30-minute meals!

Rachael Ray

There are words I don't want to say in my music. Some will say: 'Don't forget me.' I prefer: 'Always remember me.' I'm very wordy and psychological.

Redfoo

I seem to be the most wordy when it comes to monsters because I'm a bit of a monster freak.

Silvia Colloca

I was conscious of being wordy as a child. I was a terrible talker. I memorised the Latin names of flowers at five; I was shown off as a freak. My father encouraged me to be wordier than I was: he'd been a street orator at the time of Mosley, and his ideal primary concert speech was Henry V's speech before Harfleur.

Simon Schama

I'm going to start work on developing a series for HBO, because I'm naturally given to episodic stories of considerable length. And I won't have to listen to complaints about how wordy and long my work is if you can watch it on your telephone on the subway: You can make it conform to your day as if it were a book.

Tony Kushner

A lot of underground hip-hop will inspire me as far as rhyme patterns - really wordy, intelligent lyrics.

Travie McCoy
