Everybody comes from somewhere.

My dream for Israel is peace, external and internal peace.

Things can be translated, but they become different.

Hebrew has a system of tenses, which is, in a big way, different from the English system of tenses, probably different than any European system of tenses, which means a different sense of reality, which means a different concept of time.

All of my novels are democracies.

Each time I have the urge in me to make a statement or send a message or to issue a manifesto, I don't bother to write a novel. I write an article and publish it in a popular newspaper, or I make a television appearance.

I want Israel to live in peace with its neighbors and in peace with itself.
