Writers are human. I shudder to think how I must sometimes appear to others.

I think I'm a very lazy writer and by that I mean that I do not battle, I don't struggle too hard against it. If I have difficulties in the writing, I just go and do other things. I don't feel a compulsion to write.

If you are corrupt and you have extra cash you are able to shut the mouth of your accuser and they will be silenced.

I can look violence in the face and either reject or accept it.

You have the entire gamut of human experience captured in the mythology of the Yoruba. This is what makes the Yoruba mythology a natural source material for me in my creative endeavours.

I tend to work best as a one-man Task Force, including even the roles of messenger, coffee maker and office cleaner.

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