Per Petterson Zitate

When you are a sentence-based writer, they have to be good. They have to be really on the spot. Because when you don't have a plot, really, what shall you rely on? Just language. And sometimes I am so afraid of writing the wrong thing, I just sit and wait for the right thing to come.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn Sie ein Satzschreiber sind, müssen sie gut sein. Sie müssen wirklich vor Ort sein. Denn wenn Sie keine Handlung haben, worauf sollten Sie sich verlassen? Nur Sprache. Und manchmal habe ich Angst, etwas Falsches zu schreiben, ich sitze einfach und warte auf das Richtige.

I don't want to play earnest. I'd rather play somebody who's kind of sleazy. It's much more fun, especially in a comedy. You don't want to be some earnest guy who's just trying to do the right thing but can't. I want to be doing the wrong thing intentionally.
