Thriller / Thrillers Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Thriller / Thrillers:

Thrillers are an enormous amount of fun for filmmakers. John McTiernan

You can't do psychological thrillers. There's no audience. I've heard this. I've heard this from studios.

Eriq La Salle

My uncle Randall always had a book in his hand. He read in the car, he read at restaurants, he read when you were talking to him. He read lots of different things, but mostly it was Louis L'Amour's westerns and contemporary thrillers.

Stephen Graham Jones

Allthough that doesn't happen often lately, I like to read exciting thrillers and those kinky magazines.

Jonathan Brandis

For the best part of my childhood I visited the local library three or four times a week, hunching in the stacks on a foam rubber stool and devouring children's fiction, classics, salacious thrillers, horror and sci-fi, books about cinema and origami and natural history, to the point where my parents encouraged me to read a little less.

David Nicholls

I love thrillers, and I always have.

Kenneth Branagh

Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn't such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre. The most difficult part, I think, was being accepted as a thriller writer. Once you've written romance, unfortunately, critics will never stop calling you a 'former romance author.'

Tess Gerritsen

I think, primarily, we love spy thrillers, and I think, instinctively, we love the tension that those thrillers can bring.

Alistair Petrie

All summer, I read fiction because you must read for the pleasure and beauty of it, and not only for research. I don't read thrillers, romance or mystery, and I don't read self-help books because I don't believe in shortcuts and loopholes.

Isabel Allende

Mysteries and thrillers are not the same things, though they are literary siblings. Roughly put, I would say the distinction is that mysteries emphasize motive and psychology whereas thrillers rely more heavily on action and plot.

Jon Meacham

I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting.

Monica Bellucci

My first seven novels were contemporary spiritual novels, my next nine had strong elements of fantasy, and now I'm writing thrillers, more as a choice to spread my wings than anything. Writers, like good wine, should mature with age.

Ted Dekker

With thrillers, there's such a fine line between what's good and what's cheesy and corny.

Olivia d'Abo

I've always had a great affection for espionage stories. I like weaving them, and I like thrillers.

Terry Hayes

After Bound, we were offered a lot of lesbian thrillers.

Lilly Wachowski

I have a graduate degree from Penn State. I studied at Penn State under a noted Hemingway scholar, Philip Young. I had an interest in thrillers, and it occurred to me that Hemingway wrote many action scenes: the war scenes in 'A Farewell to Arms' and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' come to mind. But the scenes don't feel pulpy.

David Morrell

I'd have liked to have leant against walls in thrillers.

Celia Johnson

I read Freud because I find him an excellent writer... a writer of police thrillers that can be followed with great passion.

Italo Calvino

My favorite types of movies definitely aren't thrillers, but at the same time you can't deny the genius of Hitchcock's films.

Aaron Yoo

If you write thrillers or mysteries or horror fiction or quote-unquote speculative fiction, men might read you, and the 'Times' might notice you.

Jennifer Weiner

For escape, I love popcorn thrillers that you can read in a weekend, like 'Sharp Objects' and 'The Woman in Cabin 10.'

Krysten Ritter

I read a lot of thrillers, especially American crime novels.

Kate Mosse

I got into reading a lot of noir and a lot of thrillers as well, and I really admired the plotting about those and the way that they can surprise you. And obviously to surprise people and to have twists in the tale, you have to plan quite carefully.

Joe Abercrombie

What Stieg Larsson was up to - it was the Swedish guilt over World War II. All of our neighbors had the most terrible experiences with the bad forces, but Sweden didn't. I think we use the thrillers in a different way. We never write a thriller like 'Who is the murderer?' The big question in most of our thrillers is... 'Why?'

Michael Nyqvist

Thrillers have been traditionally very masculine books; the women characters often rather decorative.

Ken Follett

My 'Rot & Ruin' series is a post-apocalyptic adventure for teens. My 'Joe Ledger' novels are science-based action thrillers for adults. My 'Dead of Night' stories are zombie tales for adults; my 'Pine Deep Trilogy' is classic horror for adults, and I've written nonfiction books on topics ranging from martial arts to folklore.

Jonathan Maberry

For me, a good thriller must teach me something about the real world. Thrillers like 'Coma,' 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'The Firm' all captivated me by providing glimpses into realms about which I knew very little - medical science, submarine technology and the law.

Dan Brown

My first book, 'Contest,' had a guy fighting aliens in the New York Public Library. The second book, 'Ice Station,' and 'Temple' were present-day military thrillers.

Matthew Reilly

I like doing thrillers.

Frank Peretti

All the pictures I do are contemporary. I've sort of discovered I haven't really been into science fiction or period pictures. And so, in that vein, psychological thrillers play a big part.

Michael Douglas

I think there are certain tenets set in place for all different types on genres. For thrillers, women usually die first. I can't say exactly why, and it's kind of a bummer... But I also can't explain why the wallflower girl in the romantic comedy always gets the guy in the end. That's just the way those movies go.

Katie Aselton

Thrillers provide the reader with a safe escape into a dangerous world where the stakes are as high as can be imagined with unpredictable outcomes. It's a perfect genre in which to explore hard issues of good and evil, a mirror that allows the reader to see both the good and not so good in themselves.

Ted Dekker

Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers, and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.

Lisa Scottoline

I'm actually a very dark person, so I really want to get into some really dark roles, maybe some thrillers. I've never done one of those, so I think I'd really want to get into that, but definitely something that would get lots of people talking.

Cierra Ramirez

Pete Moffat writes crime conspiracy thrillers so beautifully. He goes places other people wouldn't; he is fearless.

Alistair Petrie

As a filmmaker, I don't want to limit myself to one kind of movie. After 'Headhunters,' I went to Hollywood and read a lot of scripts: lots of action thrillers and heist movies, and superhero films.

Morten Tyldum

I'd read a lot of thrillers about politicians and presidents, but never one where you flip the stereotypes and make good people bad and bad people good.

David Baldacci
