Sadie Jones Quotes

I try not to picture a reader when I’m writing. It’s like trying to make a great table but not picturing anybody sitting at it Picture Quote #1

In England, rain was thin and cold, and made you hunch up inside your coat, walking home from the bus stop. In Jamaica, it was wide and thick and invited you to step into it, and see how wet you could get, and be thrilled that it was warmer than the sea and warmer than your skin; it was abandon Picture Quote #1

I don’t get distracted until the weight of other things left undone finally tips the balance; my mind is flooded with calls, bills, supermarkets, letters, and I have to stop and sort things out Picture Quote #1

I’m never happy with what I’ve written. You imagine, before you start, there’s a cathedral, and the moment it starts on the page, it’s a garden shed. And then you just try to make it the best shed you can Picture Quote #1

My father is from Jamaica, and as a child I spent many holidays there. I remember the weight and drenching wetness of that hot rain, as I experienced it in my childhood, not only for itself, but for what it represented for me Picture Quote #1

Horses know how to be loyal but still keep their distance Picture Quote #1

Oh, I always think everyone feels left out Picture Quote #1

My father was a screenwriter, but he was also a novelist Picture Quote #1

I like to come into my workspace and feel it’s a living environment and not frozen, which is why I often change or add to the pictures on the wall Picture Quote #1

You wouldn’t know it, but I’m no good at recognising people; I have face blindness Picture Quote #1

Remove all the traffic lights, yellow lines, one-way systems and road markings, and let blissful anarchy prevail. I imagine it would produce a kind of harmony Picture Quote #1

I have a study now - I used not to. I also love working in cafes; ignoring noise is good for concentration Picture Quote #1

I remember people saying: ‘You look funny, your hair is so black, you have a flat nose,’ but I didn’t think of it being racism, and I still don’t. But there was a sense of difference, of being an outsider Picture Quote #1

Our minds and memories are crowded with the common experience of nature Picture Quote #1

I love writing on trains. The joy of being a writer is it’s all in your head; you don’t need materials apart from the laptop. It’s like taking your work home with you, so you can feel grounded in your own insane writerly realities wherever you are Picture Quote #1

If I think about the writers I love or might be influenced by, I can’t write at all, so I pretend there aren’t any Picture Quote #1

I like to come into my workspace and feel its a living environment and not frozen, which is why I often change or add to the pictures on the wall Picture Quote #1

I think that we are all much closer to our childhood selves than we often think, so when we read about childhood, it can surprise us how immediate or moving it is, when perhaps those feelings are just there, waiting to be accessed all the time Picture Quote #1

I don’t get distracted until the weight of other things left undone finally tips the balance; my mind is flooded with calls, bills, supermarkets, letters, and I have to stop and sort things out Picture Quote #1

Art is inspiring. Walking into a gallery, or when the lights go up on a stage; that thrill of getting something that has nothing to do with acquisition Picture Quote #1

Ive always thought it was important not to attach too much superstition to the space where you’re writing, because once you get into the mindset that you can only do it a certain way in a certain place, your creativity can get blocked Picture Quote #1
