Deborah Tannen Zitate

In my own writing, I avoid 'female' and try to say 'woman' because I feel that the word 'female' has connotations of not just biology but also non-human mammals. The idea of 'female' to me is more appropriate for a female animal.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In meinem eigenen Schreiben vermeide ich „weiblich“ und versuche, „Frau“ zu sagen, weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass das Wort „weiblich“ nicht nur Biologie, sondern auch nicht-menschliche Säugetiere beinhaltet. Die Vorstellung von "weiblich" ist für mich eher für ein weibliches Tier geeignet.

I don't know anyone male or female who can quote-unquote have it all. It's a made-up idea. Men don't have it all. They may have it better because they get paid more for the same work, but they don't have it all.

I started writing probably around when I was 15, because that's when I picked up the guitar. That was also around the same time when I began to create my own music, and everything really just clicked for me, and I knew this was what I was going to do.

The life of an artist is always reproving what you can do, and I feel like there is still so much more to do. Because I still enjoy it, and I'm not one of those actors who feels like, 'Oh, I've arrived and you should worship at my altar,' kind of thing.

I hate writing. There are a million other things I'd rather be doing. I write because I have to. Because if I feel so strongly about what is happening to animals, and I don't do anything to help them, who will?

If an artist wants to work with me because they feel I've made some credible albums and there've been things that are long-lasting, it's because those artists took the time and we built an idea.

I feel I'm functioning at some level as a journalist because even though I write fiction, I'm trying to get the world accurate.
