How many times have I told you not to believe everything you hear? Seek truth for yourself.

The pain of losing my child was a cleansing experience. I had to throw overboard all excess baggage and keep only what is essential.

I'm not a fan of mysteries, so to prepare for this experience of writing a mystery I started reading the most successful ones in the market in 2012. And I realized I cannot write that kind of book. It's too gruesome, too violent, too dark; there's no redemption there.

Women are the only ones who will be able to eliminate the patriarchy, and when that happens all of us will win, men as much as women.

Writing is a calling, not a choice.

I was a very bad journalist. Awful. I would just invent everything. If I did an interview, I had a preconception of what that person should say and I would put my words in his mouth.

If, for example, I saw my grandparents or my daughter for an instant, would I recognize them? Probably not, because in looking so hard for a way to keep them alive, remembering them in the most minimal details, I have been changing them, adorning them with qualities they may not have had. I have given them a destiny much more complex than the ones they lived.
