I am still trying to find out things. And I inevitably tell myself the story in different ways every time I think about it.

I don't have any doubts that I need writing. I need it personally because this is the way I think.

I think about Chilean literature as a family, because I grew up reading the literature of my country. I feel like I have fathers and stepfathers and a lot of brothers and sisters and distant cousins and all that.

I knew little, but at least I knew that: no one could speak for someone else. That although we might want to tell other people's stories, we always end up telling our own.

Everything has been said and everything has been done, but you still feel like you are looking for something.

Literature is about getting in touch. It sounds so hippie, but it really is about sharing stuff. We are a community that doesn't seem to be important for the rest of society, but we are people who want to get in touch - really in touch. We want to be thinking together.
