• Ese famoso bloqueo del escritor es un mito en lo que a mí respecta. Creo que los malos escritores deben tener una gran dificultad para escribir. No quieren hacerlo.

Yo no estoy tan seguro de lo que tengo que decir, pero desde luego disfruto haciendo frases.

• Lo más interesante de escribir es la forma en que borra el tiempo. Tres horas parecen tres minutos. Luego está la sorpresa. Nunca sé lo que viene a continuación. La frase que suena en la cabeza cambia cuando aparece en la página. Entonces empiezo a sondearla con el bolígrafo, encontrando nuevos significados.

Para ver cuáles serán las próximas frases que escriba.
