Diane Mott Davidson Zitate

The thing is, if you make best-sellerdom your goal, you're going to be in trouble. It's a very nice thing to have happen, but if one makes that a goal like, say, a literary writer has the goal of getting the Pulitzer Prize, that's so unpredictable.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Sache ist, wenn Sie das Beste aus Ihrem Ziel machen, werden Sie in Schwierigkeiten geraten. Es ist eine sehr schöne Sache, passiert zu sein, aber wenn man sich zum Ziel setzt, wie zum Beispiel ein literarischer Schriftsteller das Ziel hat, den Pulitzer-Preis zu erhalten, ist das so unberechenbar.

Whatever that day has given, you have to make it the best of the best. That's one thing I've learned over my years. On days when you can't make everything what you want, do what you do best, make it as positive as possible, and go from there. Learn from your mistakes.

Theresa Rebeck

When you're a mass-market writer, people think that you can just decide 'this happens, this happens, this happens', whereas with literary writers it's coming from their soul and their core. But with me it does come from my soul and my core, and my soul and my core often go AWOL, and then I've nothing to write.
