Colm Toibin Quotes
A Novelist's Job Is Almost To Be A Stupid As Possible, Except In The Cunning Moment When You Need To Structure Something, When You Need To Be Very Intelligent Indeed. The Rest Of The Time, You Need Almost An Empty Mind, Where You Can Let Any Image In, Follow It Along, And Allow An Emotional Charge, Almost The Way Actors And Singers Can Work. The More Instinct You Have As A Novelist, And The Less Intelligence, The Better.
