I've been a foreigner for the past twenty years. I don't have roots anymore. My roots are in my memory and my writing. That's why memory is so important. Who are you but what you can remember?

I'm an expert. I can kill anybody and not be caught.

I have learned many things in the 30 years that I have been writing.

I'm surrounded by young people. I'm always now the oldest and the shortest person in the room.

We only appreciate what we have when we lose it.

Real soup is to the body what peace is to the soul.

People are afraid of falling in love because they don't want to suffer.
