Simon Winchester Zitate

So research is a terribly imperfect science, and you learn an awful lot more after you've published a book, because people keep writing to you and saying, 'Oh, gosh, I was related to such and such a character and I have a letter in my possession.'

Simon Winchester

Deutsche Übersetzung

Forschung ist also eine schrecklich unvollkommene Wissenschaft, und Sie lernen noch viel mehr, nachdem Sie ein Buch veröffentlicht haben, denn die Leute schreiben Ihnen weiter und sagen: „Oh Gott, ich war mit so und so einer Figur verwandt und ich habe eine Brief in meinem Besitz.

Englisches Zitat von Tad Williams als Bild

For me, any book I'm writing is also a chance to get in and research and read and learn things that I maybe only knew a little bit about before.

Tad Williams

Not that I'm in the stage of my career where they're offering me parts in 'The Revenant,' but I try very hard to go through the audition process because I feel like I learn quite a lot about the character and the people I'm going to work with.

I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody else.

Englisches Zitat von Naomi Campbell als Bild

I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.

Englisches Zitat von Conor Oberst als Bild

I try to keep the idea that there's an audience in as little space in my mind as possible, but you can't erase it entirely, the idea that when you're sitting down to write a song, people are going to hear it.

The Gorillaz cartoons seem more real to me than the actual people on TV. Because at least you know that there's some intelligence behind the cartoons, and there's a lot of work that's gone into it, so it can't all be just a lie.

Damon Albarn

When people say 'Lysistrata' has always been seen as an anti-war play, what's interesting is to not make it an anti-war play, because I actually think there are important times to go to war in this world. That's just the reality. But what's interesting is the not caring.

Englisches Zitat von Robert Cormier als Bild

My dream was to be known as a writer and to be able to produce at least one book that would be read by people. That dream came true with the publication of my first novel - and all the rest has been a sweet bonus.

Robert Cormier

You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete. People always say to me, 'Your image is this, your image is that.' Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person. That's what I worry about.

Derek Jeter
