Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich versuche immer, ernsthaft zu schreiben, ich versuche immer, zu versagen - die Trennung zwischen meinem wunderschön klangvollen, akkuraten und schmerzhaften Einfluss auf den geistigen Inhalt und den bleiernden, stoppenden Sätzen auf der Seite scheint immer ein schrecklicher Mangel zu sein.

I was actually very pleased that they let me do it, because I feel very deeply for breast cancer survivors. I don't have it, but it is in my family. I've always been very aware of it. I go for mammograms and checkups.

Decolonisation seems to have dented little the sense of superiority that since 1945 has made American leaders in particular consistently underestimate the intensity of nationalist feeling in Asia and Africa.

Paul Feig

The most entertaining songs don't always come from a nice place. In songs where I think I'm being really sensitive, they seem quite boring actually. I've found that the songs that come out of nastier, more misanthropic places are better.
