Dave Eggers Zitate

The weird thing is that working within an established story was actually kind of liberating. You know the beginning and middle and end, more or less, so there's less pressure to figure all that out.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Seltsame ist, dass das Arbeiten innerhalb einer etablierten Geschichte eine Art Befreiung war. Sie kennen den Anfang, die Mitte und das Ende mehr oder weniger, so dass es weniger Druck gibt, all das herauszufinden.

I failed the LSAT. Basically, if I had not failed, I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Amy Grant

Humans are the big thing that cause damage in life - in war or whatever - and if I can get away from that and into a wilderness situation, I'm OK. You can more or less live on your own merit.
