Will Self Zitate

The paradox of modernism is, writers make the decision to work with the continuous present, and to work with... stream of consciousness, as it's called, for emotional reasons, and the main emotional reason is verisimilitude. I mean, this is what surprises people: Life is not in the simple past.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Paradoxon der Moderne ist, dass Schriftsteller die Entscheidung treffen, mit der ständigen Gegenwart zu arbeiten und mit ... dem Bewusstseinsstrom, wie er so genannt wird, aus emotionalen Gründen zu arbeiten, und der wichtigste emotionale Grund ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit. Ich meine, das überrascht die Menschen: Das Leben liegt nicht in der einfachen Vergangenheit.

Facebook succeeded because it was about real people having a presence on the Internet. There were all these other social networking sites people had, but they were all about fictional people.

When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.

Cass Elliot

I would like to see more new productions of new material by new composers/lyricists/book writers. I would like to see people take more chances. I think because everything costs so much they're not taking the chances they used to.

We're all weirdos, and people want to work so hard to fit into society, but it's like, no matter what you do, you're never going to be what society depicts as what's perfect, because that's not real. The only point that you have to make is that 'I'm being me.'
