Andre Aciman Zitate

A hidden nerve is what every writer is ultimately about. It's what all writers wish to uncover when writing about themselves in this age of the personal memoir. And yet it's also the first thing every writer learns to sidestep, to disguise, as though this nerve were a deep and shameful secret that needs to be swathed in many sheaths.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein versteckter Nerv ist das, worum jeder Schriftsteller letztendlich handelt. Das wollen alle Schriftsteller entdecken, wenn sie in dieser Zeit der persönlichen Memoiren über sich selbst schreiben. Und dennoch lernt jeder Schriftsteller als Erstes, sich zu entziehen und zu verkleiden, als wäre dieser Nerv ein tiefes und beschämendes Geheimnis, das in vielen Scheiden umspült werden muss.

The first time I thought I should be an actor was in school. I thought, 'At least this is something for which I won't have to study.'

When I started binge-watching TV, when that became a thing due to Netflix a few years ago, the first thing I watched was 'Lost.' It was summer break from grad school, and I watched it all in a row, like as many hours a day as I could, as though I were clocking in at a job.

The first thing I bought that was really stylish was in 1969 when I was eleven. I saved up for a black, grey and white tie-dye grandad vest. It was too big - they weren't catering for kids my age - and hung off me, but I loved it.

Where would the memoir be without bipolar writers? I mean, that's what - that whole oversharing thing is really a very clear symptom of bipolar disorder. And I'm not saying that every, you know, I'm not accusing every memoirist of being bipolar. But I think in a way it's kind of a gift.

I think all writers are mainly writing for themselves because I believe that most writers are writing based on a need to write. But at the same time, I feel that writers are, of course, writing for their readers, too.

The message of music was also the first thing what I learned from my first teacher. She was an organist too and she was very devoted to what she played, so she had a respect for every piece and she felt that she is not allowed to add something of her own.

Kurt Masur

All writers know how important a good title is. It's the first thing readers see, along with a knock-your-socks-off cover - a seductive 'come hither' for the story within.

I've never been a business person, nor have I ever pretended to understand the first thing about it.

The first thing I read was of my character on the phone talking to Sydney's fiance. Though short, it was so beautifully written, and it made me laugh. I thought if I wanted to play a character, this would be it.
