Tony Kushner Zitate

When I teach writing, I always tell my students you should assume that the audience you're writing for is smarter than you. You can't write if you don't think they're on your side, because then you start to yell at them or preach down to them.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn ich Schreiben unterrichte, sage ich meinen Schülern immer, dass Sie davon ausgehen müssen, dass das Publikum, für das Sie schreiben, intelligenter ist als Sie. Sie können nicht schreiben, wenn Sie nicht glauben, dass sie auf Ihrer Seite sind, weil Sie dann anfangen, sie anzuschreien oder zu ihnen zu predigen.

Write as if you were dying. At the same time, assume you write for an audience consisting solely of terminal patients. That is, after all, the case. What would you begin writing if you knew you would die soon? What could you say to a dying person that would not enrage by its triviality?
