Recording stories is a way of honoring the faculty of memory, even if it's recorded, outsourcing memory to technology.

I do need to find inner tranquillity and get into a "zone" before I switch on the computer to work on a story. Only after this do I enter the story world, where I meet the characters and, together, we work through the day and night.

Burma evoked the lost Kenyan soldiers who served in the war. You never hear about them. There were a significant number of casualties, men who never came back home. But they're never commemorated.

Dying away from home, away from the soil of your birth - and to do so unseen and unmourned - is a profound horror.

I like talking to myself and making patterns out of the letters of the alphabet on blank surfaces.

I think every morning we wake up offers a new beginning, a new way of stepping into the day. I think every conversation could be a new chance.

Matters of the subconscious affect reality in ways we don't quite realize.
