If you want to do anything, do it now, without compromise or concession, because you have only one life.

It's in literature that true life can be found. It's under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.

I don't want to be a strong hero who can save society. I just want to save myself.

When you use words, you're able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.

As a male writer, women are always what men pursue, and their world is always a mystery. So I always tried to present as many views as possible on women's worlds.

Writing eases my suffering... writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.
