Terri Windling Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Terri Windling:

I'd like to encourage people to please keep reading-and most importantly, to please keep trying new writers. The only way we can bring fresh new material into the field is if people go out and buy it.

What I find interesting about folklore is the dialogue it gives us with storytellers from centuries past.

In more recent years, I've become more and more fascinated with the indigenous folklore of this land, Native American folklore, and also Hispanic folklore now that I live in the Southwest.

I've only been living in England for the last 10 years, if you don't count my student years.

Since fantasy isn't about technology, the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!

Robert Jordan, whether he's writing with passion or not, I don't know.

When I was younger, I was in love with everything about the British Isles, from British folklore to Celtic music. That was always where my passions were as a young girl, and so I studied folklore as a college student in England and Ireland.

Read the folklore masters. Go to galleries. Walk in the woods. That's what you need to be an artist or storyteller.

A good novel editor is invisible.

I was a great fan of Jim Henson.

But for me, really, the written word is always stronger than film.

I divide my time between homes in Arizona and England, six months a year in each place.

I like Celtic folk music, Native American music, and any kind of early music. There isn't a lot of music that I don't like... except for Show Tunes.

Terri Windling

There have been a number of us working very, very hard to bring myth and fairy tales into public consciousness, through fantasy literature and other media. I hope we're succeeding in some small way.

I'm also looking for gems that the average reader might have missed.

The first job I was offered was as an editorial assistant. I think it was the best thing for me, in terms of being a storyteller by nature, to have spent years being an editor because I learned so much from it.

I'm an artist, I'm not an academic folklorist.
