Für die meisten Autoren ist die Sprache für mich von entscheidender Bedeutung: Die Fähigkeit eines Schriftstellers, eine fiktive Welt - Charaktere, Landschaft und Emotionen - in etwas Ursprüngliches zu verwandeln, das mein Verständnis von Literatur und Leben verändert oder vertieft.

What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.

Mos Def

Stewart O'Nan

When you rehearse a play, you spend four weeks with one goal in mind - to wean the actor away from you. You want the actor to become completely independent and to understand all the emotional and psychological moves within the character.

Sydney Pollack

One of the main reasons I write fiction is to try to understand what life is like for people other than myself, to try to see the world through my characters' eyes. I often find that I'm able to understand certain emotional truths about my own life by exploring things from different vantages.

Ari Graynor

The beauty of the original monster movies is that you were able to relate to every single character, or even to treat their monstrosity as an emotional metaphor.

Sofia Boutella
