My father - I once asked him what was his greatest achievement. He said his greatest achievement was that he fought in five wars in the infantry, always on the front line, and never hurt anybody.

I'm not saying that I don't experience people in life as evil, but writing is not a place of alienation; writing is the place where we can try to be human. I think there are some artists whose works are misanthropic. When I see this kind of stuff, I think, they're smart, but I don't need art to tell me people are assholes. I can just go into the streets.

If you want to learn how to be happy, you have to know what is sadness first.

I think when you write, you should call it a "writing spree." I don't write every day, and I don't write regularly.

Often in writing programs, articulation and clarity are more important than what you actually say.

I always have a story in my head that needs to be written, or at least I think I do. But I usually can't find the time to write it.

Life is one heck of an invention. It is better than the iPhone 4S and Coke Zero combined.
