Serge Schmemann Zitate

Writing for adults and writing for young people is really not that different. As a reporter, I have always tried to write as clearly and simply as possible. I like clean, unadorned writing. So writing for a younger audience was largely an exercise in making my prose even more clear and direct, and in avoiding complicated digressions.

Das Schreiben für Erwachsene und das Schreiben für junge Leute unterscheidet sich wirklich nicht. Als Reporter habe ich immer versucht, so klar und einfach wie möglich zu schreiben. Ich mag sauberes, schmuckloses Schreiben. Das Schreiben für ein jüngeres Publikum war also im Wesentlichen eine Übung, um meine Prosa noch klarer und direkter zu machen und um komplizierte Auseinandersetzungen zu vermeiden.

When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that 'just say it' attitude of my songs. There really is nothing personal or private; it's all universal, if you can just find the courage to be open about your life.

I suspect that authors who start their careers writing for an adult audience - and who eventually produce a young adult novel or two - are more common than authors who begin by writing for young adults and who then gravitate toward composing something for an adult audience.

Some companies have a very well-defined program that they bring young people into to help them figure out what they really like to do to get them exposure to senior management early.

Recently, I went to a disco with friends, and all the young people were saying, 'Dudamel, we want to go to your concert, but it's impossible because it's sold out.' It's really amazing.

Gustavo Dudamel

With young people, I always say, 'You're not doing anyone any favours by withholding your power.' As women, we do that a lot because we are afraid of being misunderstood or perceived as too strong. But the older I'm getting, the more I realise you have to let that go.

Idina Menzel

You have to really prove yourself to young people, and if your answer is clear and consistent and loving - even if it's angry and disappointed - what's important is that you're being real and honest and not going anywhere.
