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.

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

I would like my book to give people insight to the war before and after, but I don't think anyone could read my book and suddenly make up her mind about the war. I want to write for everybody.

As a war correspondent, you have to weigh the risk you run against the story you can get.

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 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.
