Janet Evanovich Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Janet Evanovich:

I wasn't always a writer. When I went to college and majored in fine arts, I was a painter. Then I was a stay-at-home mom.

I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor, they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery, they might not like that book quite as much.

Janet Evanovich

I'm a sitcom junky. And I love rom coms. Mind candy.

Janet Evanovich

Kate O'Hare is a former SEAL and is currently in the FBI - we know that there are no women in the SEALs, but we think there should be.

Janet Evanovich

I go to bars and restaurants, and I sit and I eavesdrop on people and I watch people in shopping centers and, you know, I read the newspapers and I talk to the Trenton cops, and I just get a lot of information that comes in that somehow turns into a book.

Janet Evanovich

There's just so much craziness out there in the world; it's like I couldn't fit them all in my books.

Janet Evanovich

I wasn't always a writer. When I went to college and majored in fine arts, I was a painter. Then I was a stay-at-home mom.

Janet Evanovich

I took all of my rejection letters - there must have been thousands of them in a huge box - and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying.

Janet Evanovich

I actually really suck at naming books, so lots of years ago, readers were sending in their ideas for titles, and what we realized is that they were smarter than us. So we thought, Hey, go for it. So now we have a contest every year.

Janet Evanovich

When I storyboard, they're just fragments of thoughts. I write in three acts like a movie, so I have my plot points up on the preliminary storyboard.

Janet Evanovich

When I'm plotting out a book, I use a storyboard - I'll have maybe three lines across on the storyboard and just start working through the plot line. I always know where relationships will go and how the book is going to end.

Janet Evanovich

Like 'Metro' and 'Motor,' 'Troublemaker' is written in first person. The only narration that happens is Barney speaking to the reader/thinking in her head. First person was a big challenge in the graphic novel because we want both men and women of all ages to enjoy 'Troublemaker.'

Janet Evanovich

What I enjoy as entertainment is what I enjoy writing.

Janet Evanovich

Somewhere along the line, I realized that I liked telling stories, and I decided that I would try writing. Ten years later, I finally got a book published. It was hard. I had no skills. I knew nothing about the business of getting published. So I had to keep working at it.

Janet Evanovich

I like being able to provide consistent and frequent literary choices for my fans.

Janet Evanovich

The 'Barnaby' books were always intended to be graphic novels.

I had been going around to everybody saying Katherine Heigl has to be 'Stephanie Plum', and then one day, I got that phone call saying that it was Katherine.

I'm a real voyeur.

Janet Evanovich

Inspiration is easy. The hard part is getting the inspiration onto 300 pages in an interesting, cohesive, easy-to-read but hard-to-forget story.

Janet Evanovich

I had done 12 little romance books, and I decided I wanted to move into crime fiction.

Janet Evanovich

What I realized halfway through writing romance is that you start out intuitive, and you make all these choices mostly based on yourself and what you like and what talent you have, and... if you want to have any quality control over your product, you have to stop being intuitive and start being more of an analyst.

Janet Evanovich

I've finally reached a stage in my career where I can do what I want.

Janet Evanovich

We don't appreciate the value of humor sometimes.

Janet Evanovich

You can get through very serious and sometimes horrible and sometimes embarrassing and very awkward situations with humor. It gives us a way out.

Janet Evanovich

Every time I write 'Stephanie Plum', it's going to be Katherine Heigl's face there.

Janet Evanovich

'Plum's are probably the funniest, but all the books have their own degree of humor. But if you're hooked into 'Ranger,' you're reading it for the romance.

Janet Evanovich

Writing a graphic novel is hard. It feels closer to a screen play than to a novel.

Janet Evanovich

If you want to cry, you're not going to like my books.

Janet Evanovich

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive, fun entertainment.

Janet Evanovich

I struggled to learn basic skills, get a grip on markets, find my own unique voice, create story lines and come up to speed with the industry. I struggled for ten years before having any success.

Janet Evanovich

I know nothing about making a movie.

Janet Evanovich

Community, responsibility, flexibility, tenacity - these are all things that I imbue my characters with. They are basically good, nonjudgmental people who succeed at the end of the day, sometimes in spite of themselves.

Janet Evanovich

When you're trying to expand your business, it's about real estate in the stores.

Janet Evanovich

I work real hard so the reader doesn't have to. I don't want them to have to look up words.

Janet Evanovich

I take in a lot of stuff from real life, movies, television, news and it all gets mixed in my head and somehow turns into a story idea.

Janet Evanovich

I have people I love and trust on my team. And I'm lucky my family is incredibly talented in a variety of ways.

Janet Evanovich

I love Sherri Shepherd as Lula.
