Suddenly the world has run amok and left you alone and sane behind

I know there are other writers who sit down religiously every morning, they take their espresso, they put a clean sheet of paper there and they sit looking at that paper until they've finished or covered at least a number of those pages. No, I'm not like that. I have to be ready. It has to gestate it for quite a while and then it's ready to burst forth.

Religion is all based on the mentality of "I'm right", but now today it's moved from even the question of "I'm right and I'm willing to tolerate those who agree that I am right or those who don't disturb me anyway". Now, it's a question of "If you do not accept that I'm right, I have a right to kill you". That is the mentality of religious fundamentalism today. That is the meaning of the kind of terror which we are witnessing today, that everybody is expendable who do not actually physically line up behind me.

It is not fair to those who fight corruption that they have to fight the aggressiveness, the impunity of the corrupt.

One thing I can tell you is this, that I am not a methodical writer.

Each time I think Ive created time for myself, along comes a throwback to disrupt my private space.

I grew up in an atmosphere where words were an integral part of culture.
