Dinaw Mengestu Zitate

The MFA program did one great thing for me: It taught me how to be a better reader and critic. Nothing I wrote during my time at Columbia remains - but learning how to really deconstruct a work of fiction - that, of course, is a permanent part of me now.

Das MFA-Programm hat eine großartige Sache für mich getan: Es hat mir gezeigt, wie ich ein besserer Leser und Kritiker sein kann. Nichts, was ich während meiner Zeit in Columbia geschrieben habe, ist geblieben - aber zu lernen, wie man ein Fiktionswerk wirklich dekonstruiert, ist jetzt natürlich ein fester Bestandteil von mir.

Englisches Zitat von Mark Billingham als Bild

If something is crucial to the plot, then I'd better be sure I've got my facts straight. Readers of crime novels are smart and savvy, and they'll waste no time letting me know if there's a hole in my plot.

Englisches Zitat von James Spithill als Bild

In typical sailing races a long time ago, you'd come in and go out, and the first thing you'd do is probably have a cold beer. The first thing we do now is have a protein shake and our recovery drink.

I think labels have been used alot during this election process to divide people, and at this point in time we really need people to come together, and be their own person, come with their own suggestions, and really solve the problems that we have facing this country.

The great thing about having a child is that it keeps you very grounded. When I decided to have my daughter I was ready to have that responsibility and I made it clear to people that I work with that my job was no longer my priority. My daughter is now my priority. She comes first. Period.

Englisches Zitat von Bill Camp als Bild

Fortunately, I get asked to play - regardless of how big or small they are - some really interesting people who are part of great stories. So, as an actor, there's really nothing better.

When I started, I had a really hard time getting work. It was the mid- to late-nineties. There was the WB. My age was perfect for it, but I just never came across as a youngster. I had to grow into my age in order to start working, and by the time I did, it was when things started to get good.

I love to work. It's the idea of having someone else tell you how to make your film or how to sell it - that's the part I can't really deal with. I would rather do 1,000 things that are work than deal with one thing that's a political problem.

Shane Carruth

Restoration I did because I really loved e novel and I like Michael Hoffman, who directed it, but it wasn't a really challenging part for me. I'm not critical of the film: I just don't think I gave a very interesting performance.

'Pretty Little Liars' is very all-consuming of my time, but I guess it's a great problem to have... there have been other things that have come that were on the table and then were not.
