Writing Is Not A Profession

I Am At Home Everywhere, And Nowhere. I Am Never A Stranger And I Never Quite Belong.

I'm A Bit Like A Sponge. When I'm Not Writing I Absorb Life Like Water. When I Write I Squeeze The Sponge A Little - And Out Comes, Not Water But Ink.

I Would Like To Carve My Novel In A Piece Of Wood. My Characters—i Would Like To Have Them Heavier, More Three-dimensional ... My Characters Have A Profession, Have Characteristics; You Know Their Age, Their Family Situation, And Everything. But I Try To Make Each One Of Those Characters Heavy, Like A Statue, And To Be The Brother Of Everybody In The World.

We Are All Potentially Characters In A Novel--with The Difference That Characters In A Novel Really Get To Live Their Lives To The Full.

I Adore Life But I Dont Fear Death. I Just Prefer To Die As Late As Possible.
