Edmund White Zitate

My father was a misanthrope who slept all day and stayed up all night so that he wouldn't have to see people. He ran a business with a large staff but would go there at night and leave things for them to do during the day when he wasn't there.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Mein Vater war ein Misanthrop, der den ganzen Tag geschlafen hat und die ganze Nacht aufgestanden ist, damit er keine Menschen sehen muss. Er hatte ein Geschäft mit einem großen Stab, würde aber nachts dorthin gehen und tagsüber Sachen erledigen, die er tagsüber erledigen konnte, wenn er nicht da war.

Because Larry, by then, was a drummer, who would sort of get bored and tired, and rather stand up and blow kisses to people. So we needed the bass to sort of drive along.

The biggest thing I want to see is that people have the drive to succeed. If they can 'take it or leave it,' I don't do business with them. I enjoy mentoring. I like people who want to learn.

So many people in my business go through W.W.C.D? What Would Costas Do? There are many things that I do on the air that make me think, 'That's not filled with much gravitas right there.' That's part of my style.

I love sketch comedy. My real goal is to do something with Albert Brooks. That would be my fantasy. I stay up night and day thinking up stuff he might find funny.

Some people know that they are so adorable looking, all they have to do is smile and dress up and they get plenty from that. Then there are some of us who, early on, see that that doesn't work. So we joke about it.
