Howard Jacobson Zitate

I think one of the main reasons I write is to do better than ranting. The ranting is the opinion, and the writing is not the opinion. I always say that people's opinions are the worst things about them. The words demand a dignity.

Howard Jacobson

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich denke, einer der Hauptgründe, warum ich schreibe, ist, es besser zu machen als zu meckern. Das Reden ist die Meinung, und das Schreiben ist nicht die Meinung. Ich sage immer, dass die Meinungen der Menschen das Schlimmste an ihnen sind. Die Worte fordern eine Würde.

Englisches Zitat von Robyn als Bild

I think that girls are always expected to have opinions about each other, and maybe I don't have an opinion about some things, you know?

Robyn

Englisches Zitat von Judy Davis als Bild

I think male roles are generally much better written. So for actresses, we're always dealing with trying to inject a role with more truth than the writer possibly had in mind.

Englisches Zitat von Eric Bogosian als Bild

I write for an audience that likes what I like, reads what I read, thinks about the things I think about. In many ways, this puts me in opposition to the people who go to the theater generally.

Eric Bogosian

All I can guess is that when I write, I forget that it's not real. I'm living the story, and I think people can read that sincerity about the characters. They are real to me while I'm writing them, and I think that makes them real to the readers as well.

Stephenie Meyer

I like people to have their own reaction and their own take on things. And I don't like to shove my - what I want them to feel or think - down their throats. I like people to say, 'What was that about?' or 'Why did that happen?' And so, any reactions are welcome.

Englisches Zitat von Viggo Mortensen als Bild

It's just like with people. You're going to get along better working with them - human or equine - if you ask politely rather than demand that they do things.

Viggo Mortensen

There's always this joke that I say in Israel: people don't really have discussions; they just try to convince the other people that they are wrong or they are right - they just try to impose their opinion on the others. Sometimes I think it's easier to avoid talking about things and just make music.

Englisches Zitat von Rory Freedman als Bild

I hate writing. There are a million other things I'd rather be doing. I write because I have to. Because if I feel so strongly about what is happening to animals, and I don't do anything to help them, who will?

Rory Freedman

People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.
