Jeff Nichols Zitate

Sometimes as writers, we try and put narrative development above character development. We try to move our characters around like chess pieces that do our bidding. The problem with that is sometimes the characters do things they shouldn't do. Things that are inorganic.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als Schriftsteller versuchen wir manchmal, die narrative Entwicklung über die Charakterentwicklung zu stellen. Wir versuchen, unsere Charaktere wie Schachfiguren zu bewegen, die unser Gebot abgeben. Das Problem dabei ist, dass die Charaktere manchmal Dinge tun, die sie nicht tun sollten. Dinge, die anorganisch sind.

For 'Inhuman,' it's a 'chess game' series. You have a lot of pieces moving different ways at once, and it's about what they do on their own and what happens when they collide into one another. It's about long-range planning, new character creation, and trying to really build things.

Part of the problem with the discovery of the so-called breast-cancer genes was that physicians wrongly told women that had the genetic changes associated with the genes that they had a 99% chance of getting breast cancer. Turns out all women that have these genetic changes don't get breast cancer.

My workspace is a white room with a big computer monitor and a light box. It can be very messy. Sometimes I get into trouble with my husband for that. Then I run around like a lunatic cleaning up and creating the appearance of order.

When sex is necessary for the plot of a book, or a character development, then I don't shy away from it. Why should I?

The thing is, I want to play real characters and not all girls can be pretty. The thing is, you get these girls who say 'I'm a character actor' then you see them in a role and nothing has really changed but the outfit.
