Jonathan Dee Zitate

When I read a book I liked, I would get a pen and one of my father's legal pads and rewrite it from memory as if I had thought of it myself. It was a clear sign that I wanted to be involved in writing, even if it was just pretend at that point.

Wenn ich ein Buch las, das ich mochte, würde ich mir einen Stift und einen Rechtsbeistand meines Vaters besorgen und es aus dem Gedächtnis umschreiben, als hätte ich selbst daran gedacht. Es war ein klares Zeichen, dass ich in das Schreiben involviert sein wollte, auch wenn es zu diesem Zeitpunkt nur so war.

All I know for certain is that reading is of the most intense importance to me; if I were not able to read, to revisit old favorites and experiment with names new to me, I would be starved - probably too starved to go on writing myself.

We had seen the way the print industry had been disrupted; we'd seen how the audio industry got disrupted, so it just seemed like a natural progression that video was next. We thought we were late to the game in 2003.

And I have to work so hard at talking positively to myself. If I don't, it's just real hard to get through the day, and I'll get really down, and just want to cry. My whole body language changes. I get more slumped over.

If I wrote in a sonnet form, I would be distorting. Or if I had some great new idea for line breaks and I used it in a poem, but it's really not right for that poem, but I wanted it, that would be distorting.
