Zitat des Tages von Sonya Hartnett:
I spent three years at RMIT doing a bachelor of arts and media studies. It was a hugely formative experience. As someone who had a private Catholic school upbringing, the world suddenly became a much bigger and better place for me.
I'll always struggle over saying I'm a writer, even if I won the Booker Prize.
I have spent a great deal of my time defending my work against those who see it as too complicated, too old in approach, too bleak to qualify as children's literature. This has been the bane of my life.
If I'm desperate, I'll read anything. But even when I can be choosy, I still have no hard-and-fast rules. I have rules about what I won't read, rather than what I will. No science fiction, no romance, no chick lit. Although even these rules can be broken.
I've never really been able to tolerate zoos.
I do not really write for children: I write only for me and for the few people I hope to please, and I write for the story.
