August Wilson Zitate

It was early on in 1965 when I wrote some of my first poems. I sent a poem to 'Harper's' magazine because they paid a dollar a line. I had an eighteen-line poem, and just as I was putting it into the envelope, I stopped and decided to make it a thirty-six-line poem. It seemed like the poem came back the next day: no letter, nothing.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es war schon früh im Jahr 1965, als ich einige meiner ersten Gedichte schrieb. Ich habe ein Gedicht an 'Harpers' Magazin geschickt, weil sie einen Dollar pro Zeile bezahlt haben. Ich hatte ein Gedicht mit achtzehn Zeilen, und als ich es gerade in den Umschlag steckte, blieb ich stehen und beschloss, es zu einem Gedicht mit sechsunddreißig Zeilen zu machen. Es schien, als würde das Gedicht am nächsten Tag zurückkommen: kein Brief, nichts.

And then I got a call the next day that I was going down to shoot it.

In the spring of 1994 I decided not to seek reelection to the Senate. I had made the decision 12 years earlier, Christmas Day of 1982, just after I had been first elected to a full term, that I would do the best I could for a limited time.

So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.

When I was 17, my main goal was to be in a band and travel the world. I ended up getting to do that with my old band Hey Monday. I got to see the world and learn how to tour, and the next thing I knew, I was on 'The Voice.' So it was just a crazy, crazy ride.
