I will get a loan and pay the money the court asks for. But I will not lay down my writing and I still say this was an important book to write.

If I leave, reality will devour me. Then they will all really be dead.

If I lose, then I have to accept that my way of writing books is not the way society says it's okay to write.

I think when you start to get afraid, it's time to leave.

There is no journalist without opinions, and there's no real objectivity, but we can strive toward it.

I always try to describe the situation just as it is. I try to find sentences that I believe tell the story best. Even my articles are more literary than ordinary news stories.

Even in a war, someone has to take care of daily life. Someone has to feed and clothe the children.
