Citas de David Guterson

• Bueno, creo que es extraordinariamente divertido escribir y me hace mucha ilusión hacerlo cada día, pero eso no significa que piense que sea fácil. Hay una diferencia entre ambas cosas. Es divertido en el sentido en que lo son todas las cosas que merecen la pena: tiene su dificultad. Creo que un escritor tiene que aceptar un cierto grado de frustración. Es inherente a la tarea y hay que perseverar. Forma parte de la definición del trabajo.

• Writers shouldn’t underestimate the difficulty of what they’re doing, and they should treat it with great seriousness. You’re doing something that really matters, you’re telling stories that have an impact on other people and on the culture. You should tell the best stories you can possibly tell and put everything you’ve got into it.
