- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Eroding solidarity paradoxically makes a society more susceptible to the construction of substitute collectives and fascisms of all kinds.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would gladly do it but I am suffering from social phobia. I cannot manage being in a crowd of people.
- May
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I cannot stand public attention, I just can't. Of course, if I may I might write something instead.
- Long

My plays are made up of long monologues, which is similar to prose working with the language.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The problem is that it is difficult to translate.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not made to be pulled into the public as a person. I feel threatened there.
- Ego
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not one of those women writers who are obsessed by their ego, possibly because I don't have one.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find the Internet to be the most wonderful thing there is. It connects people. Everyone can have input.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As long as I have books and DVDs, I don't miss much.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can really write what I want. I can take time; I can do nothing for a year. That is paradise.
- Willingly
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't do what I do willingly, but I have to do it.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I seek to cast an incorruptible gaze on women, especially where they are the accomplices of men.
- Limited
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My writings are limited to depicting analytically, but also polemically, the horrors of reality. Redemption is the speciality of other authors, male and female.
- Literature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I write, I have always tried to be on the side of the weak. The side of the powerful is not literature's side.
- Football Match
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.

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

I am a sort of justice fanatic, and I always have to give a voice to those who get a raw deal.
- Big Cities
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The smaller a group, the easier it is for more people to argue and enter into discussions. The U.S. is vast. It's too large. The intellectuals hide out in enclaves, in big cities or universities, like a bunch of chickens hiding from a fox.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In Austria, a rather authoritarian Catholic country, the role of the social admonisher traditionally fell to artists because there were no great political thinkers.
- Value
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A woman who becomes famous through her work reduces her erotic value. A woman is permitted to chat or babble, but speaking in public with authority is still the greatest transgression.
- Beauty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
