sellers translations best-sellers
I'm not a best-seller, but through translations, I've accumulated some money.
tasks language tension
The translator's task is to create, in his or her own language, the same tensions appearing in the original. That's hard!
objectivity cameras literature
Hitchcock makes it very clear to us. There's an objective and a subjective camera, like there's a third- and a first-person narrator in literature.
trying use literature
We should try to understand our innermost needs. We shouldn't use irony to reduce their power.
rock-and-roll rocks literature
I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot.
movie stories actors
All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It's like a personal therapy.
novel facade aesthetic
It's my own personal unconscious that ultimately creates the novel's aesthetic facade.
matter way hollywood
It doesn't matter that the way of life shown by Hollywood was phony. It helped you hope.
literature taste watches
I am only interested in bad taste if I can enjoy a gruesome tango or watch a movie that makes me cry.
long stories fantasy
I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.
rock-and-roll names rocks
I don't want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I'm suspicious.
beauty theme
I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.
humor thinking universe
I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.
hygiene tardiness literature
Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.
