Englisches Zitat von Terry Teachout als Bild

I don't know of any American playwrights who earn the bulk of their living writing plays. Many of the older ones teach, while a growing number of younger ones write for series television.

Terry Teachout

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich kenne keine amerikanischen Dramatiker, die den Großteil ihrer lebenden Schreibspiele verdienen. Viele der Älteren unterrichten, während eine wachsende Zahl von Jüngeren für Serienfernsehen schreibt.

With so many young playwrights, the true craft of writing for living voices is not what it used to be. They write for attention spans of 10 minutes between adverts.

Englisches Zitat von Cindy Sheehan als Bild

The American electorate are getting disgusted with weaklings who blow where the wind takes them while frittering away our precious lifeblood and borrowing money from our new owners, the Chinese.

Cindy Sheehan

Englisches Zitat von Philip Pullman als Bild

For that reason you can't write with music playing, and anyone who says he can is either writing badly, or not listening to the music, or lying. You need to hear what you're writing, and for that you need silence.

Philip Pullman

I've never really worked out this thought, and I don't know if I'm really conscious of it, but I can see there's an attraction about writing about a period that's over and isn't going to change colour while you look at it.

Tom Stoppard

Many writers can't make a living. So to be able to teach how to write is valuable to them. But I don't really know about its value to the student. I don't mean it's useless. But I wouldn't have wanted anyone to teach me how to write.

Chinua Achebe

Englisches Zitat von Richard Russo als Bild

By ignoring a lot of American culture you can write more interesting stories. Unfortunately, if you were writing about America as it is, you'd be writing about a lot of people sitting in front of television sets.

Englisches Zitat von Laura Bell Bundy als Bild

I was kind of going that route with my country music. Indie country. Which would work, if I was playing on Americana stages. Unless I had a television outlet like 'Glee'.

Englisches Zitat von Colm Meaney als Bild

There's no reason not to be in television now. You get to live at home and you're not on the road all the time, they pay you decent money, and the writing's good. You're not compromising for it, you know.

Colm Meaney

Englisches Zitat von Eric Stoltz als Bild

I know a lot of writers who would much rather be writing the Great American Novel, but they've got bills to pay and alimony, and so they take a job at a less-than-reputable paper. You know, you do what you gotta do.
