Zitat des Tages von Terry McMillan:
It takes me forever to say my prayers these days, but I don't care, because this time around, I want to make sure God doesn't have to do any guesswork.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.
My stories are character driven.
I'm a fast writer.
Let me put it this way: when I read, I learned the world was not as small as my house. And that everybody in my home town was not representative of the way people in the world were raised. And that was what saved me.
I'm more interested in interpersonal relationships - between lovers families, siblings. That's why I write about how we treat each other.
Every human being I know craves love and affection.
I don't live my life as a writer. I'm a mother, an African-American woman, and I do everything that everybody else does - cook and a little bit of cleaning.
I'm not an angry woman. I'm not bitter.
I like doing the readings and the autographing, but the interviewing gets a little tedious because you get asked the same questions every day and sometimes three or four times a day.
