Writers Are The Exorcists Of Their Own

Journalism Is A Way Of Voicing Opinion, Of Participating In The Political, Social, Or Cultural Debate.

I Always Write A Draft Version Of The Novel In Which I Try To Develop, Not The Story, Not The Plot, But The Possibilities Of The Plot. I Write Without Thinking Much, Trying To Overcome All Kinds Of Self-criticism, Without Stopping, Without Giving Any Consideration To The Style Or Structure Of The Novel, Only Putting Down On Paper Everything That Can Be Used As Raw Material, Very Crude Material For Later Development In The Story.

Its Easy To Know What You Want To Say, But Not To Say It

Men Do Not Live By Truth Alone; They Also Need Lies: Those That They Invent Freely, Not Those That Are Imposed On Them; Those That Appear As They Are, Not Smuggled In Beneath The Clothes Of History. Fiction Enriches Their Existence, Completes Them And, Fleetingly, Compensates Them For This Tragic Condition Which Is Our Lot: Always To Desire And Dream More Than We Can Actually Achieve.

I Completely Believe That - Literature For Me Is A Way Of Life. That's Probably True Of All Writers Or All Artists. I Think In The End This Kind Of Activity Absorbs One In Such A Way That It Becomes One's Way Of Life.
