Gary Jennings Zitate

When I was living in Mexico and writing a book called 'Aztec,' I had to make a deliberate effort to ignore a lot of the 'typically Mexican landscape' around me - banana and citrus groves, roses and carnations, burros and toros - because they did not exist in Mexico in the 15th century, the time of my book.

Als ich in Mexiko lebte und ein Buch mit dem Namen "Aztec" schrieb, musste ich mich absichtlich bemühen, die typisch mexikanische Landschaft um mich herum - Bananen- und Zitrusplantagen, Rosen und Nelken, Burros und Toros - zu ignorieren Sie existierten im 15. Jahrhundert, der Zeit meines Buches, nicht in Mexiko.

'The Karate Kid' was just lightning in a bottle. The second movie is a very worthy sequel, because you got to explore the Okinawan culture and learned about Miyagi's life. The third, as is always the case, was made because the second one made a lot of money.

Jane Austen was writing about boring people with desperately limited lives. We forget this because we've seen too many of her books on screen.

I had a lot of friends who were boys. I played ball with them, but we didn't date. They didn't ask me that much because I wasn't cute enough or because I didn't drink or party.

Everything from the little house was in the wagon, except the beds and tables and chairs. They did not need to take these, because Pa could always make new ones.

I was living in a large apartment with no furniture, just a typewriter, and because I had nothing else to do with my time, it made me take my writing seriously.

It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.

Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth will cause tremors around the New City. Two great rocks will war for a long time, then Arethusa will redden a new river.
