More quotes by Kazuo Ishiguro
I've always had a great fondness for English detective fiction such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.
Kazuo Ishiguro
What I wished more than anything was that the thing hadn't happened at all, and I thought that by not mentioning it I'd be doing everyone else a favor.
Kazuo Ishiguro
I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words of Miss Kenton. Moreover, as you might appreciate, their implications were such as to provoke a certain degree of sorrow within me. Indeed- why should I not admit it? - at that moment, my heart was breaking.
Kazuo Ishiguro
To see the best before I have properly begun would be somewhat premature.
Kazuo Ishiguro
I'm interested in memory because it's a filter through which we see our lives, and because it's foggy and obscure, the opportunities for self-deception are there. In the end, as a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.
Kazuo Ishiguro
What interests me is the surprising enormous extent to which most people accept the fate that's been given to them, and find some dignity.
Kazuo Ishiguro
As I say, I have never in all these years thought of the matter in quite this way but then it is perhaps in the nature of coming away on a trip such as this that one is prompted towards such surprising new perspectives on topics one imagined one had long ago thought throughly.
Kazuo Ishiguro
She might be a great person, but life's so much bigger than just loving someone.
Kazuo Ishiguro
When a man induces his wife to turn suspicious thoughts against her own father, then that is surely cause enough for resentment.
Kazuo Ishiguro
We took away your art because we thought it would reveal your souls. Or to put it more finely, we did it to prove you had souls at all.
Kazuo Ishiguro
There comes a point when you can more or less count the number of books you're going to write before you die.
Kazuo Ishiguro
The fantasy never got beyond that—I didn’t let it—and though the tears rolled down my face, I wasn’t sobbing or out of control. I just waited a bit, then turned back to the car, to drive off to wherever it was I was supposed to be.
Kazuo Ishiguro
One is not struck by the truth until prompted quite accidentally by some external event.
Kazuo Ishiguro
I try to always go for something... very interior, following thoughts and memories, something that I think is difficult to do on the screen, which is essentially a third-person medium.
Kazuo Ishiguro
Perhaps one day, all these conflicts will end, and it won't be because of great statesmen or churches or organisations like this one. It'll be because people have changed. They'll be like you, Puffin. More a mixture. So why not become a mongrel? It's healthy.
Kazuo Ishiguro
I like novelists who can create other interesting worlds.
Kazuo Ishiguro
What is difficult is the promotion, balancing the public side of a writer's life with the writing. I think that's something a lot of writers are having to face. Writers have become much more public now.
Kazuo Ishiguro
My donors have always tended to do much better than expected.
Kazuo Ishiguro
I loved cowboy films and TV series, and I learned bits of English from them. My favorite was 'Laramie', with Robert Fuller and John Smith. I used to watch 'The Lone Ranger', which had been famous in Japan as well. I idolized these cowboys.
Kazuo Ishiguro
Indeed — why should I not admit it? — in that moment, my heart was breaking.
