David Guterson Zitate

I was aware that there is an expectation that writers inevitably falter at this stage, that they fail to live up to the promise of their first successful book, that the next book never pleases the way the prior one did. It simply increased my sense of being challenged.

Ich war mir bewusst, dass die Erwartung besteht, dass Schriftsteller in dieser Phase unweigerlich ins Stocken geraten, dass sie das Versprechen ihres ersten erfolgreichen Buches nicht einhalten, dass das nächste Buch niemals so gefällt wie das vorherige. Es hat einfach mein Gefühl erhöht, herausgefordert zu werden.

The teacher of history's work should be, ideally, not simply a description of past cultures, but a performance of the culture in which we live and are increasingly taking our being.

I was so nervous because I was doing my first film. I didn't want to embarrass myself. I'm an incredibly insecure person, and knowing that I had to go on set in next to nothing, it scared me, but at the same time, I knew it would be a challenge to open me up, not only as an actress but as a person.

As an actor and as a performer, I've felt that the education system has really helped me in a lot of ways... there was always a teacher or a professor along the way that kept pushing me to the next stage.
