Min Jin Lee Zitate

Ich dachte: "Niemand will dieses Buch, und ich bin ein Idiot, weil ich so hart daran gearbeitet habe." Um beim Schreiben Erfolg zu haben, müssen Sie jedoch bereit sein, lange Zeit dumm auszusehen. 'Pachinko' hat so lange gedauert, weil ich es so oft falsch verstanden habe.

It was only after five years in the army, when I was having to do a very boring job in a very boring place, that I thought: 'Why not try writing a novel?' partly out of youthful arrogance and partly because there had been a long line of writers in my mother's family.

It's really hard to say how long the show will last and will continue. I hope it lasts for a very long time. As long as kids watch it, anyway. But beyond this, sure, I would love to be doing film. I'd love to be doing more theater and perhaps even writing.
