Sandra Cisneros Quotes:

Ocupation: Writer

Life: b. December 20, 1954

Birthday: December 20

Something I always tell students is, when you're writing something, you want to write the first draft and you want it to come out easily in the beginning. If you're afraid to say what you really have to say, you stammer. [...] You're judging yourself, you know, thinking about your listener. You're not thinking about what you're saying. And that same thing happens when you write.

- Sandra Cisneros
