Joyce Carol Oates Zitate

I think whenever we think of our hometowns, we tend to think of very specific people: with whom you rode on the school bus, who was your next door neighbor you were playing with, who your girlfriend was. It's always something very specific.

Ich denke, wenn wir an unsere Heimatstädte denken, neigen wir dazu, an ganz bestimmte Menschen zu denken: Mit wem Sie im Schulbus gefahren sind, wer war Ihr nächster Nachbar, mit dem Sie gespielt haben, und wer Ihre Freundin war. Es ist immer etwas sehr Konkretes.

'Pretty Little Liars,' you know, it's a teen show that grew to be something bigger. I think you had girls from ages 7 to, like, 20 watching the show, and that was the predominant audience. Then it grew to be for girls, boys, men, women, people who are 7 to 35. I think that's crazy.

I don't analyze what I'm doing. I've read convincing interpretations of my work, and sometimes I've noticed something that I wasn't aware of, but I think, at this point, people read into my work out of habit. Or I'm just very, very smart.
