Joan Johnston famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • Be original and find your inner voice. The rest will follow.

  • Singing for stage, if you don't hear yourself, that's when you push, and that's when you can hurt your voice sometimes. So if I can hear myself in my ear, it really helps me to find that balance of how loud I needed to be singing.

  • I am the first instrument. I am the voice. I do not imitate other instruments. Other instruments imitate me.

  • But understand that I want to remain alone, truly alone, so I can precede my face, my voice, my hell without anyone telling me which is the best path, without anyone laughing at the giant's wings and the dwarf's legs that impede my gait.

  • Family, monogamy, romance. Everywhere exclusiveness, a narrow channelling of impulse and energy.

  • I am just like any other girl, a sucker for romance.

  • Romance is finding your fantasy in people who don't have it.

  • All writers have roots they draw from - travel, work, family. My roots are in science and it is fertile ground for fiction.

  • Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

  • I like to blur the line between fact and fiction, but not to condescend to the reader by enmeshing her/him into some sort of a postmodern coop.
