Many People Say I Smile

I Am Not Afraid Of Dying. I Have Lived Longer Than Most People In The World. What Scares Me Is To Have A Body That Works But A Brain That Is Waving Goodbye. If That Happens, I Hope I Die Quickly.

I Work In An Old Tradition That Goes Back To The Ancient Greeks. You Hold A Mirror To Crime To See What's Happening In Society. I Could Never Write A Crime Story Just For The Sake Of It, Because I Always Want To Talk About Certain Things In Society.

Africa Was The Most Exotic Place I Could Conceive Of - The End Of The World - And I Knew I Would Go There One Day.

Certainly, I Know What It's Like To Be Obsessed. I Haven't Always Been There For My Children. They Could Reach Me, But I Wasn't Always There. But, You Know, That's Not Necessarily Anything To Do With Being A Writer. I Mean, A Taxi Driver Could Have The Same Problem... Maybe.
