The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked.

I very much dislike the word "race," and I never use it. I use the word "racist." Race is not a fact. There is only one race: human. Skin color is less than 2 percent of the DNA.

It's hard for me to talk about the terrible things that have happened in my lifetime because they didn't need to be.

I could not live by literature if only to begin with, because of the slow maturing of my work and its special character.

There are worse words than cuss-words, there are words that hurt.

Not to have an audience is a kind of death.

I know that I haven’t powers enough to divide myself into one who earns and one who creates.
