Everything I do is because of writing. If I go for a walk, it's because I'm thinking of writing. I go look at flowers, I go look at the garden, I go look at a museum, but it's all coming back to writing.

The slave trade was globalism. Why people insist that globalism, after its hideous history, is a good thing, I do not know.

I'm trying to earn a living in the way that is most enjoyable to me. I love the world of literature, and I hope to support myself in it.

In my writing I'm trying to explore the violations people commit upon each other.

I would be lost without the feeling of antagonism that people have towards me. I write out of defiance.

Time is the element that controls the consciousness, the very being of the people.

I would never never read a work of fiction and want to know about the person's life.
