The problem is that it is difficult to translate.

I cannot stand public attention, I just can't. Of course, if I may I might write something instead.

Eroding solidarity paradoxically makes a society more susceptible to the construction of substitute collectives and fascisms of all kinds.

I would gladly do it but I am suffering from social phobia. I cannot manage being in a crowd of people.

As is said about most writers: on the one hand all I ever did from when I was a child was read, and I was a loner, which was furthered by my parents and my upbringing.

My training in music and composition then led me to a kind of musical language process in which, for example, the sound of the words I play with has to expose their true meaning against their will so to speak.

I have the feeling it will influence my future writing to the extent that without any material worries I could develop a greater ease, even lightheartedness, in my writing.

I think isolation is one of the greatest problems, an ever-growing obstacle to political solidarity.

I do not fight against men, but against the system that is sexist.

It could draw from a greater reservoir of freedom. The irony could develop an even greater ease.

Literature that keeps employing new linguistic and formal modes of expression to draft a panorama of society as a whole while at the same time exposing it, tearing the masks from its face - for me that would be deserving of an award.

My plays are made up of long monologues, which is similar to prose working with the language.

The problem is that it is difficult to translate.

I do not want to have the feeling of writing "for eternity," so to speak.

The government has once again made the right socially acceptable.

As is said about most writers, on the one hand, all I ever did from when I was a child was read, and I was a loner, which was furthered by my parents and my upbringing. On the other hand, the more I read, the more I felt this well-known fissure between me and the world.

As long as I have books and DVDs, I don't miss much.

I am not made to be pulled into the public as a person. I feel threatened there.

I associate the metaphor of sport with war. The unrest in the former Yugoslavia, after all, started with a football match that then became charged in nationalist ways and ended in violence.

I can really write what I want. I can take time; I can do nothing for a year. That is paradise.

I describe the relationship between man and woman as a Hegelian relationship between master and slave. As long as men are able to increase their sexual value through work, fame or wealth, while women are only powerful through their body, beauty and youth, nothing will change.

I do not want to have the feeling of writing 'for eternity', so to speak.

I don't do what I do willingly, but I have to do it.

I find the Internet to be the most wonderful thing there is. It connects people. Everyone can have input.

I seek to cast an incorruptible gaze on women, especially where they are the accomplices of men.

I'm not one of those women writers who are obsessed by their ego, possibly because I don't have one.

It doesn't suit me as a person to be put on public display.

It's a wonderfully democratic method, publishing a text on the Internet.

It's interesting that the treatment of historical events by art precedes the civilisation of people through democracy.

Sunday the day for the language of leisure.

Stealing isn't so easy, often it's hard work, otherwise we'd all be doing it.

Sunday, the day for the language of leisure.

As a dad, you are the Vice President of the executive branch of parenting. It doesn't matter what your personality is like, you will always be Al Gore to your wife's Bill Clinton. She feels the pain and you are the annoying nerd telling them to turn off the lights.

Life is better when we don't try to do everything. Learn to enjoy the slice of life you experience, and life turns out to be wonderful.

The methodologies of examining hip hop are borrowed from sociology, politics, religion, economics, urban studies, journalism, communications theory, American studies, transatlantic studies, black studies, history, musicology, comparative literature, English, linguistics, and other disciplines.

As a writer, you sit around a computer all day, and it's too easy to open another tab and keep Rotten Tomatoes there.

I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.

It's difficult to find a movie that feels true to itself. You feel the hand of Hollywood, the moviemaking by committee, on everything.

We relish news of our heroes forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.

The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free.

As a female pilot, the sacred rose garden in my heart is the motherland's blue sky.

Distance not only gives nostalgia but perspective and maybe objectivity.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.

A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures.

The surface is all you get of me.

Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.

People lucky enough to live in the vicinity of an industrial hog farm are, with each breath, made keenly aware of the cause of their declining property values.

Develop an affirmation today, and start getting instant confirmation in all works of like.

Possibly the most interesting first impression of my life came from the world of dreams.
