Text Quotes
I don’t really see art as structured by logic  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I am interested in risk, in art as well as in the realm of politics  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Motorcycles aren’t about gaining agency, I don’t think  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) There is no real appeal for me in an image of a woman on a motorcycle  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I don’t really have those kinds of intentions when I write a scene. I try to follow the internal logic of the fiction, rather than make an argument or an assertion  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) For me, truth cracks open in the places where things do not cohere. That’s how life is  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) The kids I knew growing up who worked on bikes all loved the smell of gas. It is the liquid agent for speed  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Since it’s fiction, the book resonates, at least for me, on various levels, some of which intimate ideas about history but none of which have the kind of directly causal reasoning you cite  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Authenticity is too big a subject to just toss in with the question about the photographs  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) In short, I’m pretty suspicious of the idea that there’s a real and true and authentic world, and then a bunch of false ones  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) People who experience themselves as authentic are also experiencing themselves as myth, but that’s not the narrative they’re going with  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I don’t regard the real and true and authentic as something to claim as a moral high ground  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I’m not belittling the art world. Not at all. I take it quite seriously, actually. But the logic of art is a vanguard logic that pressures art to incorporate the quotient of risk  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I didn’t think of the narrative as making a judgment. It didn’t occur to me the reader would either, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible there would be that risk  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) People are complicated. Personally I don’t go in for puritanical people  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I guess I’m not really fond of just chit-chatting. I want to learn something and have an experience  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) My mother told me many stories about her childhood in Cuba. Living there had a profound impact on her and how she regards herself  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Danzon is my favorite Cuban music, played by a traditional string orchestra with flute and piano. It’s very formally structured but romantic music, which derives from the French-Haitian contradance  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I am occasionally enraptured by Western landscape. But I don’t identify that state of mind as having to do with my own origins, having grown up in the West, although I certainly crisscrossed Nevada countless times growing up, and then as a young adult, in cars and on motorcycles  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) A funny thing about women and machines: the combination made made curious. They seemed to think it had something to do with them  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Authenticity is too big a subject to just toss in with the question about the photographs!  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) It’s really a misconception to identify the writer with the main character, given that the author creates all the characters in the book. In certain ways, I’m every character.  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) I’m a very interior person. I love silence. I revel in it. I’m happy that way.  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) L.A. is a great place to write because you have a lot of space. I have a big office at home, I can leave the doors open. Flowers bloom all year. But it’s unglamorous in all the right ways.  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Art is about play and about transcendent meanings, not reducible to politics  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Leave, with no answer. Move on to the next question  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) A funny thing about women and machines: the combination made men curious  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) People who want their love easy don’t really want love  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Writing a first novel was an arduous crash course. I learned so much in the six years it took me to write it, mostly technical things pertaining to craft  (Rachel Kushner Quotes) Every person has a range. In fiction, you get to be it all. I’m as much the men in my book as I am the women. I write how I write and there is no mission to stake a claim  (Rachel Kushner Quotes)
