Jonathan Ames Zitate

When I was in college, I had the good fortune to have Joyce Carol Oates as my writing teacher. She told me that I could take an aspect of myself, and from that one bit of personality, I can create a character. This is what I have done, particularly in my novels.

Als ich am College war, hatte ich das Glück, Joyce Carol Oates als meine Schreiblehrerin zu haben. Sie sagte mir, dass ich einen Aspekt von mir nehmen könnte, und aus diesem einen Teil der Persönlichkeit kann ich einen Charakter kreieren. Das habe ich getan, besonders in meinen Romanen.

It's not the moment yet for me to enjoy my time as an actor, and as the time goes by, I feel that I need to push myself harder to pay back for all the good fortune that I have received.

The real road, to me, was within the actor, within myself, within my own personality. How much Jeffrey can I find, and how much of Jeffrey could I access? What parts of Jeffrey have I never used for Hank or for George or Oscar? - and that was a delight.

There's a long record here of being wrong. There's a good reason for it. There are probably multiple reasons. Certainly proliferation is a hard thing to track, particularly in countries that deny easy and free access and don't have free and open societies.
