Ron Carlson Zitate

I love whimsy. My mother was a word person, a real quipster. She was famous in the 1950s for being a contester in Utah: 25 words or less. My bicycle, our hi-fi... in 1959, she won $15,000 from Remington-Rand for writing about a shaver. She was a farm girl from South Dakota.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich liebe Laune. Meine Mutter war ein Wortmensch, ein echter Witzbold. Sie war in den fünfziger Jahren dafür berühmt, in Utah ein Konkurrent zu sein: 25 Wörter oder weniger. Mein Fahrrad, unsere HiFi-Anlage ... 1959 gewann sie von Remington-Rand 15.000 Dollar, weil sie über einen Rasierer schrieb. Sie war ein Farmmädchen aus South Dakota.

Englisches Zitat von Karin Slaughter als Bild

I'm really boring. I get up early. I go to bed early. I don't smoke or drink. I mean, I'll eat a cupcake. I'm just not a crazy, stay-out-all-night sort of person. I love writing.

Karin Slaughter

People love talking about writers as storytellers, but I hate being called that: it suggests I got it from my grandmother or something, when my writing really comes out of silence. If a storyteller came up to me, I'd run away.

Colm Toibin

My mother was the kind of person who was very much part of her tribe and very much a satellite of her tribe. She was the girl who left her family at the age of 17 and went to Washington. My mother was orphaned at three and then was brought up by my aunt Goldie. So, yes she belonged, but there was a part of her that didn't.

I love to drive in the Black Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota with Mount Rushmore as the central stop.

Englisches Zitat von Bonnie McKee als Bild

There are some artists that don't like working with other females, which is fine. They have their own thing. I personally love being surrounded by other females.

Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

Englisches Zitat von Sophie B. Hawkins als Bild

I used to write songs that were deeply personal, but since I am becoming so passionate about the world around me, that passion and drive is starting to come into my work.

Sophie B. Hawkins

Writing is total grunt work. A lot of people think it's all about sitting and waiting for the muse. I don't buy that. It's a job. There are days when I really want to write, days when I don't. Every day I sit down and write.

Jodi Picoult

Englisches Zitat von Sophie Kinsella als Bild

To have someone who never makes a mistake, never finds her personal life in disarray, never worries about work-life balance? I think that would be unreal. What I'm writing is real.
