Kaavya Viswanathan Quotations

I am a huge fan of her work and can honestly say that any phrasing similarities between her works and mine were completely unintentional and unconscious.

When I was writing, I genuinely believed each word was my own.

Well, yeah, I mean I always wanted to be a writer eventually, but I wasn't ever really thinking like in terms of this young. I mean I always fantasized about when I'm 30, I'll go become a British citizen and win the Man Booker award. That's still my big goal.

I completely see the similarities, I'm not denying that those are there, but I can honestly say that any of those similarities were completely unconscious and unintentional.

I just hope she believes I would never, ever intentionally lift her words. The last thing I ever wanted to do was upset her.

I don't see a huge talent difference between one age group or another. It all comes down to who has the dedication to sit down every day and put something on paper. It all starts from there.
