• Scheherazade, of course, was always in the back of my mind, because she's also a storyteller identified as female who tells a lot of anti-female stories. There's a parade in The Arabian Nights of sorceresses, adulteresses, ghouls, sirens, harridans.

• Lo fascinante de hacer arte -o de hacer cualquier cosa, supongo- es el momento en que la idea vaporosa e insustancial se convierte en algo sólido, una cosa, una sustancia en un mundo de sustancias. Circe, Nimbue, Artemisa, Atenea, todas las antiguas hechiceras: debieron conocer la sensación mientras transformaban a simples hombres en criaturas fabulosas, robaban los secretos de los magos, disponían ejércitos: ah, mira, ahí está, la cosa nueva. Llámalo cerdo, guerra, laurel. Llámalo arte.

• An interesting example is that the worst woman in the book, who is so cruel and violent, is the sorceress in "The Prince of the Black Islands." She's a beautiful young woman, and she has turned her husband into stone from the waist down. A traveling sultan finds him, in his dreadful state, and the man petrified from the waist down tells his sad story...how his wife comes every afternoon and beats him until the blood runs down. She's just unwontedly, arbitrarily cruel.

• Veo las ciudades como organismos, como criaturas vivas. Para mí Madrid es un hombre y Barcelona una mujer. Y es una mujer extremadamente vanidosa. Uno de los grandes poetas catalanes, Joan Maragall, escribió este famoso poema en el que llamaba a Barcelona la gran hechicera, o una especie de hechicera, y en el que la ciudad tiene esta oscura presencia seductora que seduce y atrae a la gente. Creo que Barcelona tiene mucho de eso.
