I claim the right to take a stand once in a while.

As a writer, I've always been interested in others.

I was born in the Second World War during the Nazi invasion of my country.

Literature is my life of course, but from an ontological point of view. From an existential point of view, I like being a teacher.

No, I'm happy to go on living the life I've chosen. I'm a university teacher and I like my job.

But I don't think I have any particular talent for prediction, because when you have three or four elements in hand, you don't have to be a genius to reach certain conclusions.

I prefer insomnia to anaesthesia.
