I hate traveling and being away from my family. But I like meeting my readers, as what I write is actualized in them. Those encounters are exhilarating to me.

I dont make notes for myself because I either lose them or they make no sense to me at all. I once found a piece of paper with the note: everything. Apparently I made a note to myself not to forget everything!

I started appreciating and valuing different things. Some things just became insufferable to me, and not just literature. I used to like horror movies and now I couldn't stand them.

Your memories become fantasies if they are not shared, and your life in all its triviality becomes a legend.

I'm a dilettante by temperament. I don't have any expectation.

We, as writers, have to figure out a way to create a consciousness in language. It's crazy even to attempt to do that.

To write has to be related to a drive inside.
