Letter "K" » Kazuo Ishiguro Quotes
«I was a little concerned that a lot of people thought I wrote Merchant Ivory movies. I also thought if I was ever going to write something strange and difficult, that was the time.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«I want my words to survive translation. I know when I write a book now I will have to go and spend three days being intensely interrogated by journalists in Denmark or wherever. That fact, I believe, informs the way I write-with those Danish journalists leaning over my shoulder.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«By mimicking the way memory works, a writer can actually write in a fluid way-one solid scene doesn't have to fall on another solid scene, you can just have a fragment that then dovetails into another one that took place 30 years apart from it. It doesn't have to be fully realized, it can be a glancing, shadowy reference to something that you'll come back to later, and then it moves on.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«I'm very fortunate in that I don't have money problems. I have lunch with my wife at home. I don't have to commute, so I have much more time with my family.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«I do feel part of that generation of people who were rather idealistic in the '70s and became disillusioned in the '80s. Not just about social services issues, but the world.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«Our family arrived in England in 1960. At that time I thought the war was ancient history. But if I think of 15 years ago from now, that's 1990, and that seems like yesterday to me.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«Screenplays I didn't really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«I think I had actually served my apprenticeship as a writer of fiction by writing all those songs. I had already been through phases of autobiographical or experimental stuff.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«If you look at my last songs and first short stories, there is a real connection between them.»
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
«Until then, I was knocking on doors. Afterward, my wife and I started to get a different kind of dinner invitation altogether.»
