I myself, as I'm writing, don't know who did it. The readers and I are on the same ground. When I start to write a story, I don't know the conclusion at all and I don't know what's going to happen next. If there is a murder case as the first thing, I don't know who the killer is. I write the book because I would like to find out. If I know who the killer is, there's no purpose to writing the story.

If I'm going to merely ramble, maybe I should just snuggle under the warm covers, think of Miu, and play with myself.

It doesn’t matter how old I get, but as long as I continue to live I’ll always discover something new about myself.

I don't know a whole lot about symbolism. There seems to me to be a potential danger in symbolism. I feel more comfortable with metaphors and similes.

You have to wait until tomorrow to find out what tomorrow will bring.

To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm.

His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small restless body.
