I always write my novels with music (I don't listened to the music seriously.) Music seems to encourage me.

I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it's a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.

When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say.

A person’s destiny is something you look back at afterwards, not something to be known in advance.

Everything in life is a metaphor.

It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof you're alive.

Either I'm funny or the world's funny. I don't know which. The bottle and lid don't fit. It could be the bottle's fault or the lid's fault. In either case, there's no denying that the fit is bad.
