• When I'm writing, especially when I'm writing in first person, I don't think about the characterization, or how they are going to express themselves, I just express my own approach to these things. I think most writers can never divorce themselves from their private lives and personas; they are the ones that are writing. And the more they remove themselves from their own persona, the more, perhaps, mechanical the work becomes.

• …They think of suicide as a quick route to oblivion, an escape. Far from it. It merely alters a person from one form to another. Nothing can destroy the spirit.

• Fingía que era lo único que le impedía hacerlo. Pero, en el fondo de su mente, se preguntaba si sería capaz de escribir algo. A menudo la pregunta le asaltaba cuando menos se lo esperaba. Tienes cuatro horas todas las mañanas, la afirmación surgía como un espectro amenazador. Tienes tiempo para escribir miles de palabras. ¿Por qué no lo hace? Y la respuesta siempre se perdía en una maraña de porqués y pozos e infinitas razones a las que se aferraba como un ahogado a un clavo ardiendo.
