I'll continue on the path I've been taking, feet on the ground, describing people's lives, describing people's emotions, writing from the standpoint of the ordinary people.

No person writes to win awards.

A writer should bury his thoughts deep and convey them through the characters in his novel.

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

I am also well aware that literature only has a minimal influence on political disputes or economic crises in the world, but its significance to human beings is ancient.

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

I write about my region, the countryside in which I grew up.
