"I do not just write, I write what I am. If there is a secret, perhaps that is it." — Jose Saramago

A writer's definitive death is when no one reads his books anymore. That's the final death.

When I am occupied with a work that requires continuity - a novel, for example - I write every day.

For me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me.

I believe myself to be the type of person who does not complicate his life. I have always lived my life without dramatizing things, whether the good things that have happened to me or the bad. I simply live those moments.
