Carole Morin: Citations en anglais

“It’s hard work and it takes longer than murder or sex.”

Chin Wag At The Slaughterhouse (2013)
Contexte: Murder and sex are both Dionysian.
Creative work is first anarchic; and then it’s structured. It’s right brain then left brain. Anarchic then controlled. To be a really good writer, you have to be able to do both. It’s hard work and it takes longer than murder or sex.

“I’d like to be called a Good Writer.”

Trivial and Profound (2013)
Contexte: I wouldn’t want to be labelled a Woman Writer even though I’m definitely not a man. And I think Scottish Writer has some unfortunate associations.
Last century when I was commissioned to write my first novel, Scottish writers were being bullied by a purple nosed publisher to write in dialect. Well my voice is authentically Scottish. I’m an educated Scottish person who escaped. My voice is as valid as a whiny cunt who lives in a council flat and doesn’t quite speak English. That doesn’t mean I have to sound like Evelyn Waugh either.
I’d like to be called a Good Writer. To quote a review on Amazon, "Carole Morin is a Fucking Genius. Fact." Fucking Genius will do.

“Characters in novels are all fiction like the world they live in.”

Chin Wag At The Slaughterhouse (2013)
Contexte: Characters in novels are all fiction like the world they live in. Of course Vivien Lash has things in common with me but if she actually was me I wouldn’t have been able to invent her. And I’m not plotting to murder my husband!
The closest connection between me and my characters is that we live in a city that’s recognisable as London, but it’s a version of London that came out of my head.

“Imagination is all we have in the end.”

Spying on Strange Men (2013)

“The sum of the rivals is constant.”

Lampshades (1991)
