I have come to believe that the best kind of walk, or journey, is the one in which you have no particular destination when you set out.

I don't travel so much now, I get tired

I mostly write short stories. They are best written in a continuous creative process. You have a feel of immediacy.

I write a story in my head. I see the story like a movie.

Yes, I'd love to have a garden of my own--spacious, and full of everything that is fragrant and flowering. But if I don't succeed, never mind--I've still got the dream.

Normally writers do not talk much,because they are saving their conversations for the readers of their book- those invisible listeners with whom we wish to strike a sympathetic chord.

The past is always with us, for it feeds the present.
