It's human to hear stories and to know how people live and to imagine how that is for them. It's very interdependent!

I'm trying to give people an idea of what black looks like and what white looks like before I introduce them to gray.

... there is ... a big aspect of play in writing novels, and making the story more and more elaborate is just more and more fun.

These are ideas that work for many, and that may well reflect your true understanding of life.

I think that there is a bias in the current literary climate, which is not only very Western but very male.

A man was the sum of his limits; freedom only made him see how much so.

I like to listen. I'm much more interested in listening than in speaking, for sure.
