I know that many writers have had to write under censorship and yet produced good novels; for instance, Cervantes wrote Don Quixote under Catholic censorship.

Titles are not only important, they are essential for me. I cannot write without a title

I do not believe in inspiration, but I must have a title in order to work, otherwise I am lost

It means that no matter what you write, be it a biography, an autobiography, a detective novel, or a conversation on the street, it all becomes fiction as soon as you write it down.

A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader

I am a writer of fragments.

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
