I was never a true journalist, I was a movie critic.

Many of my books have begun with the title, because naming a work already in progress makes no sense to me.

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 am against the notion of style in itself

There were influences in my life that were more important than journalism, such as comic strips and radio.

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.

That is what I define as a novel: something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, with characters and a plot that sustain interest from the first sentence to the last. But that is not what I do at all.
