Sarah Dessen Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Sarah Dessen:

I think my mother characters have changed a lot since Sasha was born, just because I understand what a hard job it is now, and I'm coming at it from another angle - like you just love and care about this person so much, and just want to protect them from everything.

I don't live in New York or California. I'm in the grocery store, at the park with my kids, and I'm a normal person. I'm feeding my chickens and agonizing about my next book!

My books are so tame!

I think part of the problem sometimes is that there's so much happening in my books, to whittle it down into a single script is hard.

I can't sit and twiddle my thumbs. I have to start writing even if it's miserable some days.

I love YA, and it's been a really good fit for me. But at some point, I would like to try something else: a collection of short stories, or writing about something other than high school. A lot has happened to me since I was eighteen.

When I was a teen, I was never really into the captain of the football team or the student body president. The guys I liked were quirky and different: They listened to music I'd never heard of, never had lunch or gas money, and could always make you laugh.

I'm always hopeful. I feel like I'm at the prom sitting against the wall waiting for someone to ask me to dance.

Sarah Dessen

I really just love to read, period, whether it be books or magazines or the back of the cereal box. It's the one thing I can always count on to calm me down, take me away and inspire me, all at once.

Sarah Dessen

Each time, I think I'm never going to write another book. It never gets easier.
