American literature had always considered writing a very serious matter

I describe my works as books, but my publishers in Spain, in the United States, and elsewhere insist on calling them novels

I have one main reader, Miriam Gomez, my wife. She reads everything I write - I have not finished writing something and she is already reading it.

I believe that writers, unless they consider themselves terribly exquisite, are at heart people who live by night, a little bit outside society, moving between delinquency and conformity

I was able to read a movie before I was able to read a book

Watching a movie from beginning to end is like reading, because even though what you see are images, they are telling you a story
