People Will Always Tell Stories.

I Know A Lot Of People In The City, At All Levels, Horizontally And Vertically - And That To Me Is A Privilege, To Me As A Person But Also A Writer. I've Dined With Billionaires, And I Play Soccer With Busboys.

When I Found Myself In The U.s., And The War Was At Full Swing In Bosnia, I Read For Survival - It Was A Means Of Thought Resuscitation.

No Reader Owes Me Anything - I Am Owed Nothing For My Noble Efforts, Because My Writing Was Always Unconditional, Always Coming Out Of Inner Necessity.

Despite All That I Know Rationally, And Everything That I Can Put Into Words, I Can Say That I Have Difficulty Giving Up The Notion Of The Nobility Of Art.

I Am A Writer, Which Means I Write Stories, I Write Novels, And I Would Write Poetry If I Knew How To. I Don't Want To Limit Myself.
