Geraldine Brooks Zitate

If somebody from the past doesn't rise up from the grave and start talking to me, I haven't got a book. I have to hear that voice, the voice of the narrator. How she sounds will tell me who she is, and who she is will tell me how she will act - and that starts the plot in motion.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn jemand aus der Vergangenheit nicht aus dem Grab aufsteht und anfängt, mit mir zu reden, habe ich kein Buch. Ich muss diese Stimme hören, die Stimme des Erzählers. Wie sie sich anhört, sagt mir, wer sie ist, und wer sie ist, sagt mir, wie sie sich verhalten wird - und damit beginnt die Verschwörung.

I grew up watching old black and white movies where Marlene Dietrich or Jean Harlow would go walking down some cobblestone street in ripped stockings and head into some smoky boite and sing for a pathetic living. That's so what I wanted to be.

I had an idea in the beginning to do a book about some of the events that I had covered, just various stories that I've covered. Reporters spend a lot of time telling each other tales about how they covered stories, and that's what this book started out to be.

I'm going to try to pull a Natalie Portman. Natalie went to Harvard while shooting 'Star Wars'. I don't know how she did it. I want to have lunch with her and ask her - that seems like a bunch of stress right there.
