When someone forces me to do something I don't do it.

When someone forces me to do something I don't do it.

I think writers write for their consciences, they write for their own true audiences, for their souls.

A writer should always bravely face life, risking death and mutilation in order to dethrone an emperor.

A writer should express criticism and indignation at the dark side of society and the ugliness of human nature, but we should not use one uniform expression.

When I write, I try to represent the ordinary person in the pew, which means that, ironically, I'm qualified to write about prayer by being unqualified!

No person writes to win awards.
