To be under occupation, to be under siege, is not a good inspiration for poetry.

I never wanted children, maybe I'm afraid of responsibility.

When a writer declares that his first book is his best, that is bad. I progress successively from book to book.

I am from there. I am from here. I am not there and I am not here. I have two names, which meet and part, and I have two languages. I forget which of them I dream in.

And I tell myself, a moon will rise from my darkness.

To be under occupation, to be under siege, is not a good inspiration for poetry.

When I passed the age of 50, I learned how to control my emotions.
