Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein großes Publikum zu haben, wenn Sie auf einer Büchertour sind, ist wie bei Walhalla, wenn Sie eine Person sind, die nebenbei Girl Scout-Kekse verkauft. Weil Sie die Lektüre geben wollen, die die meisten Bücher verkauft.

I'm in the middle of a 25-city book tour, and I like watching what people buy in bookstores. I see people buy books that I strongly suspect they will never read, and as an author, I must tell you, I don't mind this one bit. We buy books aspirationally.

While you certainly will recognize 'Outlander' if you've been reading the books, there's also this wonderful sense of novelty and discovery about it because of all the little new touches and twists. I watch it in utter fascination waiting to see what will happen.

Even if you don't like colours, you will end up having something red. For everyone who doesn't like colour, red is a symbol of a lot of culture. It has a different signification but never a bad one.

There have been articles saying that all women need to read my book. I ask, why not all men? In fact, that would be even more valuable because we women want to sit down with men and tell them - this is how we feel, this is what we go through.

It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.
