The morning I woke up and it was announced that Trump was the elected president of the United States, I wrote to Angela Merkel. I said that she - at least for me - is now the leader of the free world.

Don't write about that which you don't know.

I recommend the art of slow reading.

Writing a poem is like having an affair, a one-night stand; a short story is a romance, a relationship; a novel is a marriage-one has to be cunning, devise compromises, and make sacrifices.

All you can see, if you look through the window - everything you see is a fulfillment of dreams, different dreams.

I write in words. I don't write in sounds or in shapes or in flavors.
