Amy Waldman Zitate

I read Claire Messud's 'The Emperor's Children,' I read Joseph O'Neill's 'Netherland' - but to me, they're not 9/11 novels. In 'The Emperor's Children,' 9/11 felt to me like a piece of the plot; the novel wasn't wrestling with what 9/11 meant. And 'Netherland' felt the same way. I liked both books a lot but I don't see them as 9/11 novels.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich habe Claire Messuds "Die Kinder des Kaisers" gelesen, ich habe Joseph O'Neills "Niederlande" gelesen - aber für mich sind es keine 9/11-Romane. In "Die Kinder des Kaisers" fühlte sich 9/11 für mich wie ein Stück der Verschwörung an; Der Roman rang nicht mit dem, was 9/11 bedeutete. Und 'Holland' fühlte sich genauso. Ich mochte beide Bücher sehr, aber ich sehe sie nicht als 9/11-Romane.

I don't read a lot of magazines, but when I'm traveling, I'll pick up a copy of 'Vanity Fair' to read on the plane - it's like a full meal! The articles are so good, especially the crime stories. Browsing the Web is more like snacking - but I live on snacks.

For sure, all over Poland, kids had my picture of a lemur on their bedroom wall - but the chances are they may never get to see a real lemur in Madagascar. I thought this was great and it really meant a lot to me.

I love my parents in the way most children would: for having been there at every point in my youth and childhood, ready to pick me up when I fell and support me when I stumbled.

I have many creative outlets. I sing, I like music, I like art, I paint, I draw. I like buying art. I read a lot, too. I love books. And I'm working on a clothing line, too.

The only thing about my life that's really changed is the fact that a lot of people know me now. I'm still the same person.

I found, when I left, that there were others who felt the same way. We'd meet, they'd come and seek me out, we'd talk about the future. And I found that their depression and pessimism was every bit as acute as mine.

There's nothing worse - I don't like listening to actors talk about the process, especially when - I mean, for me I've played a lot of guys, dudes, boys in a sense and this was a challenge for me just to play that official character.

I love the fact that no one's ever bought my record because they were enamoured of the way I look. Maybe one person. There must be someone out there with compromised taste.

I don't like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself.
