Writers speak for those who are kept in silence

I am very grateful for the success, because it has given me the freedom to write without pressure, in my own way, and has enabled me to maintain my family and educate my children and grandchildren, as well as to create a Foundation to empower women and girls.

All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them.

Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences.

I should say that I'm not conscious of any particular style or any particular literary device when I am writing. I have written 22 books, and they are all very different. I have tried all kinds of genres.

Love is music, and sex is only the instrument.

Those who seek the truth run the risk of finding it.
