My Salinger Year (2020)

Hayley Kezber: Rachel Cusk

Quotes 

• Rachel Cusk : [to Joanna]  I thought all publishing assistants were writing novels at their desk.

  Daniel : If you can write a novel at your desk while fetching coffee for a tyrant like Margaret, good luck.

  Rachel Cusk : Well, you really have to love it. You have to want it more than anything in the entire world. More than a boyfriend or a closet full of pretty dresses, or a fancy job that makes everyone jealous. You need to be okay with saying no when you're invited to a party, and you really need to be okay with having your mother and father hate you.
