Aidan Chambers Zitate

Fame, money and the size of the market are not very important to me. What is, is writing a book that is worth doing and then publishing it. I don't write books for entertainment, for people to pass the time then throw away.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ruhm, Geld und die Größe des Marktes sind für mich nicht sehr wichtig. Was ist, ist ein Buch zu schreiben, das es wert ist, es zu tun, und es dann zu veröffentlichen. Ich schreibe keine Bücher zur Unterhaltung, damit die Leute die Zeit vertreiben und dann wegwerfen.

Really important books to me are the classics. I try very hard to read them well - you know, especially once I got serious about writing. So, reading Tolstoy several times - 'War and Peace,' 'The Kreutzer Sonata' - all those were really important to me.

It's too bad that there aren't as many light comedies around in the movies as there were when I was making pictures like 'The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.' The boys are just not writing them. Many writers are more serious now than they used to be, and that's showing up in all phases of entertainment.

I decided that now is the time to start doing the things that really interest me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book... and I began putting more work into environmental history.

I think that writing texts, publishing texts, selling texts in a physical book store is one of the important tools for breeding this new generation.

I knew that I was different. I gravitated more toward playing house, but the teachers were always pushing me toward playing the more competitive games with the boys. I spent so much time wondering, 'What's wrong with me? Why can't I fit in?'

I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.
