Helen Oyeyemi Zitate

A few people have tried to make me see that my writing isn't quite their thing by saying to me: 'What about realism?' To which my general response is, 'What about it?' However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of my favorite writers, Marilynne Robinson, was to say something similar if asked 'What about the fantastic?'

Deutsche Übersetzung

Einige Leute haben versucht, mir klar zu machen, dass mein Schreiben nicht ganz ihr Ding ist, indem sie mir sagen: "Was ist mit Realismus?" Worauf meine allgemeine Antwort lautet: "Was ist damit?" Ich wäre jedoch nicht überrascht, wenn eine meiner Lieblingsautoren, Marilynne Robinson, etwas Ähnliches sagte, wenn sie gefragt wurde: "Was ist mit dem Fantastischen?"

Englisches Zitat von Griffin Dunne als Bild

It struck me that working digitally with a small crew, I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.

Griffin Dunne

I'm not an especially male novelist, but I think men are better at writing about men, and the same is true for women. Reading Saul Bellow is a revelation, but he can't write women. There are exceptions, like Marilynne Robinson's 'Gilead,' but generally, I think it's true.

Englisches Zitat von Fay Wray als Bild

My next book is Scene by Scene: as Seen by Fay Wray. It'll be about different incidents. Just my feelings about quite a few people. Attitudes. My thoughts about the universe and simple things like that.

There's no lack of writers writing novels in America, about America. Therefore, it seems to me it would be wasteful for me to add to that huge number of people writing here when there are so few people writing about somewhere else.

Some people are really nice about it. I get Saudi princes and famous people stopping me in L.A. and saying, 'You're Stifler's mom. Can I take a picture with you?' But then you get people like her putting their camera in your face without asking. They think they can do whatever they like.

For me, when I'm writing something really personal, I don't feel good about it. It's weird that people can connect to it and like something that came from a really crap place. You have to be quite brave to write about something that you honestly feel and think.

As an actor, I think it's really important to be as anonymous as possible. It's your job to convince people that you are somebody else, and so any recognition I'd get away from the screen - well, it's not something I actively seek. To be honest with you, I'm surprised anybody does.

Englisches Zitat von Maria Sharapova als Bild

I love getting consumer reports. I think it's one of my favourite things, studying what people have to say about the product and then trying to make it better.

Englisches Zitat von Dennis Hastert als Bild

We want to make sure that Social Security is fixed for those people who have had that promise and there's something in the future for our younger workers. And we're not about to do a welfare program.
