T. C. Boyle Zitate

In previous generations, there was purpose; you had to die, but there was God, and literature and culture would go on. Now, there is no God, and our species is imminently doomed, so there is no purpose. We get up, raise families, have bank accounts, fix our teeth and everything else. But really, there is utterly no purpose except to be alive.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In früheren Generationen gab es einen Zweck; Sie mussten sterben, aber es gab Gott, und Literatur und Kultur würden weitergehen. Nun gibt es keinen Gott, und unsere Spezies ist unmittelbar dem Untergang geweiht, daher gibt es keinen Zweck. Wir stehen auf, erziehen Familien, haben Bankkonten, machen Zähne und alles andere. Aber wirklich, es gibt absolut keinen Zweck, außer am Leben zu sein.

I wanted to really ingrain myself in the culture and the people.

I'm not one of those stars that goes out and literally dresses to be photographed. I'm kind of a 'what you see is what you get' type of girl when I dress. I go for comfort above everything else.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

The Midwest breeds funny, eccentric people, to varying degrees. You play shows not because you're expecting to get a record deal, but to do something fun outside of mowing lawns. Everything else is just gravy... Or mustard.

I love the fact that we, as black people, carry our faith with us. We share it and embrace it and love it and talk about it because we talk about everything else and why not that and that was the first impression that I had that really touched me.

I think as a 20-year-old you expect life to always be easy. You get given a good hand and the chance to race in Formula One. You think the driver can make the difference, can make up for everything else within the team. But that is not the case. You are racing in such a competitive sport so that doesn't happen.

I wouldn't say I'm a Method actor, but I do try to focus very deeply on what character I'm playing, and everything else goes out the window. I forget about everything. I try to get everything else out of my head.
