I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself

I wrote for a weekly magazine and then edited a literary magazine, but I did not really feel comfortable with the profession of journalism itself

I live in London and I am a British subject, although I do write in Spanish, of course

I am the only British writer who writes in Spanish

I am against the notion of style in itself

Tobacco is the opiate of the gentleman, the religion of the rich.

When I write, I enjoy myself so much that what is being written really needs no reader
