Chinua Achebe Zitate

Once you allow yourself to identify with the people in a story, then you might begin to see yourself in that story even if on the surface it's far removed from your situation. This is what I try to tell my students: this is one great thing that literature can do - it can make us identify with situations and people far away.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn Sie sich erst einmal mit den Menschen in einer Geschichte identifizieren, können Sie sich selbst in dieser Geschichte sehen, auch wenn sie an der Oberfläche weit von Ihrer Situation entfernt ist. Das versuche ich meinen Schülern zu sagen: Dies ist eine großartige Sache, die Literatur tun kann - sie kann uns dazu bringen, uns mit weit entfernten Situationen und Menschen zu identifizieren.

I think, when I was younger, I was cooking to impress. Sometimes the dish would have 15 things on the plate. That's cooking only for yourself. As you get more mature, you take all the superfluous things away, and you get the essential flavor. Now I cook for people, not for myself.

The great thing is that young talent isn't tied to a how-to model for starting a line; we get to find new ways to go about doing things. And don't let people tell you you can't. Go find a way to show that you can.

I think, as an actress, people get on your case if you do the same thing over and over again. But if you get too far away from that, people don't like that, either.

About forty miles away from Paris, I began to see the old trench flares they were sending up at Le Bourget. I knew then I had made it, and as I approached the field with all its lights, it was a simple matter to circle once and then pick a spot sufficiently far away from the crowd to land O.K.

In today's world, social media, people get judged so much by the last thing that happened, I almost feel, in a way, young people get to see that not only is it OK to fail - that's the way you get to championship success, whether it's sports or business or life.

With every film, we form a small little world for a period of time. Everybody is close, and then one fine day everything is over. That can throw you off. So you have to learn to take things in your stride and not get too emotional about people or situations.

I'd say I'm the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it amusing always appealed to me.
