When I start writing novels, I go into them with a spirit of inquiry, rather than to substantiate prejudices I had in the beginning. If you don’t do that, you can’t write good characters (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
She missed the built environment of New York City. It was only in an urban landscape, amid straight lines and architecture, that she could situate herself in human time and history. She missed people. She missed human intrigue, drama and power struggles. She needed her own species, not to talk to, necessarily, but just to be among, as a bystander in a crowd or an anonymous witness (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
The relationship between reader and writer is reciprocal in a way. We co-create each other. We are constantly emerging out of the relationship we have with others (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
When I’m writing a novel, which is what I like to write, I get up early, sit zazen, make a pot of green tea. I wear wrist cuffs to keep my wrists warm and minimize irritation from extended contact with the surface of my desk. I sit down and write (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
Inspiration comes from everything from the entire world, and its hard to pinpoint one thing. I can trace one inspiration to the writing of 13th-century Zen master Dogen Zenji, who writes beautifully about time (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
By the time we, consumers, are aware of processes like genetic engineering, they’re already being done. It’s sort of like the war in Iraq: By the time we know about it, it’s almost a fait accompli. And that’s certainly true with science (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
I am really interested in the way we relate to time. In particular, the way readers and writers talk to each other. Casting your voice out into the future is very beautiful to me. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
It was really a means-of-production problem. It costs so much to make films. With a novel, you can write the whole thing on a ream of paper from Staples for $4 (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
I live in a beautiful part of British Columbia, and I run through the rainforest. I do have to look over my shoulder to check for a cougar or a wolf though, so sometimes it’s not the most relaxing. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
I believe it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you can find something concrete to keep you busy while you are living your meaningless life. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
Canada has always been a great place for literature. It’s strong and growing stronger, and there will always be reading, and there will always be great writers. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
When I write fiction, I have the illusion of being able to control these fictional worlds and these characters, and to make them say what I want them to say. Of course, the problem is that it is an illusion, and by the end of it you realize that you’re not in control of it at all; the characters have taken over, and they’re driving the vehicle. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
I did documentary film for a long time, and I spent a lot of time behind the camera, fervently wishing that the reality I was filming would conform to my narrative propriety. But you can’t control it. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
I’ve always played that edge of fact and fiction. I used to be a filmmaker, and certainly in film that’s a line that filmmakers cross more readily and more easily than novelists. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
People have always heard voices. Sometimes they’re called shamans, sometimes they’re called mad, and sometimes they’re called fiction writers. I always feel lucky that I live in a culture where fiction writing is legal and not seen as pathology. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
Sometimes when she told stories about the past her eyes would get teary from all the memories she had, but they weren’t tears. She wasn’t crying. They were just the memories, leaking out. (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
Casting your voice out into the future is very beautiful to me (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
There are many answers, none of them right, but some of them most definitely wrong (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
What if I travel so far away in my dreams that I can’t get back in time to wake up? (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
No matter how much bullying they inflict on my body, as long as I have this hope, I can endure any pain (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
The past is weird. I mean, does it really exist? It feels like it exists, but where is it? And if it did exists, but doesn’t now, then where did it go? (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
Sometimes when she told stories about the past her eyes would get teary from all the memories she had, but they weren’t tears. She wasn’t crying. They were just the memories, leaking out (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
An unfinished book. left unattended, turns feral, and she would need all her focus, will and ruthless determination to tame it again (Ruth Ozeki Quotes)
