Quote by Ann Goldstein

“I don't have a philosophy. If I had a philosophy, it's that I'm kind of literal minded. For example, I would never translate poetry - it's too hard, there are too many levels. Not that prose doesn't have many levels, but it's more grounded.”

“I think that if you are sticking to the text, essentially, you're not trying to write your own version of it. I mean, of course, it is your own version of it.
