Lawrence Wright Zitate

When I was trained as a journalist, as a race-relations reporter in Nashville covering the end of the civil-rights movement, we were strictly forbidden to use the first-person pronoun. There was kind of an electric charge around it. To come out from hiding and use the word 'I' carried a lot of fright for me.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als ich als Journalist in Nashville über die Beendigung der Bürgerrechtsbewegung zu einem Race-Relations-Reporter ausgebildet wurde, durften wir das First-Person-Pronomen nicht verwenden. Es gab eine Art elektrische Ladung um ihn herum. Aus dem Verstecken zu kommen und das Wort "Ich" zu gebrauchen, hat mir große Angst bereitet.

Soccer was the first sport that my parents put me in, and ultimately, all the parents kind of came over to my mom and were, 'We think Channing would be better at football.... We love him, he's really great, but he's kind of hurting our children.' I was just a little wild.

There is a myth that writers get to choose their stories. You don't get to choose your story any more than you get to choose your children. You can make the decision to write, but beyond that, at the end of the day, it's going to come out how it's going to come out.

Nicole will come up in conversations where it's in a part of the conversation. Or we may be somewhere and I would tell some story about their mother and I. You know, we always honor her birthday.

I was very much in my room with my marionette stage, you know, creating these incredibly boring things that I felt were so fascinating, and forcing my relatives to come, and charging money for them to see my little productions.
