Like a blazing comet, I've traversed infinite nights, interstellar spaces of the imagination, voluptuousness and fear.

I don’t want to promote my own image either. I don’t like going on television or mixing in literary circles.

Literature for me isn’t a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.

As a writer, I’ve always been interested in others.

I don’t go for people who lead full and satisfying lives.

Doubts are like stains on a shirt. I like shirts with stains, because when I’m given a shirt that’s too clean, one that’s completely white, I immediately start having doubts.

There are some fundamental values it’s impossible to be wrong about.

My books are about losers, about people who’ve lost their way and are engaged in a search.

But I don’t think I have any particular talent for prediction, because when you have three or four elements in hand, you don’t have to be a genius to reach certain conclusions.

I’ve come to realize one thing, that stories are always bigger than we are, they happen to us and we are their protagonists without realizing it, but in the stories we live, we aren’t the true protagonists, the true protagonist is the story itself.
