I think reviewers are sexist... This isn’t to sound bitter, but I think you’re more likely to get a critical kicking if you’re a woman. I just think that’s a fact. I really think less value is put in general on women’s voices, across the board Picture Quote #1

It’s black women as perpetual sidekick. We need to hear from more women’s voices. And it would be nice to see some books geared toward us Picture Quote #1

I rarely write in my own voice except in book reviews and memoirs; otherwise, I am writing in mediated voices, modulated in terms of the characters whom the voices express Picture Quote #1

I detest my past, and anyone else’s. I detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people Picture Quote #1

When we first sold the Wallace and Gromit shorts to America, people suggested we get rid of the strange British accents and put clear American voices on them, and we held out Picture Quote #1

One side of me is very busy paying attention to the details of life, the humanity of people, catching the street voices, the middle-class, upper-middle-class secret lives of Turks.

My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction.

Acapella is a different discipline from singing with an accompaniment - it is much more exposed Picture Quote #1

I want the ‘Roots’ biopic to be animated - I see Charles Schulz drawing us. I think it would be more hilarious with the voices of children Picture Quote #1

Children who have been in work for a long time suddenly get a thud down to earth once the cuteness fades, hips widen, voices drop and jawlines strengthen Picture Quote #1

Children’s voices - even those who couldn’t carry the tune - are always appealing Picture Quote #1
