Experience
|
Nov 07, 2020

Writing has always had that tactile quality for me. It's a physical experience.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I could write directly on a typewriter or a computer, I would do it. But keyboards have always intimidated me. I've never been able to think clearly with my fingers in that position. A pen is a much more primitive instrument. You feel that the words are coming out of your body and then you dig the words into the page.

Nov 07, 2020

With a computer, you make your changes on the screen and then you print out a clean copy. With a typewriter, you can't get a clean manuscript unless you start again from scratch. It's an incredibly tedious process.

Book
|
Nov 07, 2020

No book includes the entire world. It's limited. And so it doesn't seem like an aesthetic compromise to have to do that. There's so much other material to write about.

Body
|
Nov 07, 2020

I really, truly believe that writing comes out of the body; of course, the mind is working as well, but it's a double thing and that doubleness is united. I mean, you can't separate persona from psyche; you just can't do it.

I Can
|
Nov 07, 2020

Chance is an element of life. What I try to do is study what I call the mechanics of reality as carefully as I can.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I woke up one day and thought: 'I want to write a book about the history of my body.' I could justify talking about my mother because it was in her body that my body began.

Others
|
Nov 07, 2020

Holes in the memory. You grab on to some things, others have completely disappeared.

Boring
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think if we didn't contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring. It would be tedious to be alive.

Mind
|
Nov 07, 2020

Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do. And I've changed my mind about a lot of things over the years.

Every Single Thing
|
Nov 07, 2020

The most challenging project I've ever done, I think, is every single thing I've ever tried to do. It's never easy.

Others
|
Nov 07, 2020

Some things get written more quickly than others, but I can't really measure degrees of difficulty.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think it's a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I guess the toughest things in translations are word play, which can never be reproduced exactly.

Business
|
Nov 07, 2020

People look at the same passage, and one person will say this is the best thing he's ever read, and another person will say it's absolutely idiotic. I mean, there's no way to reconcile those two things. You just have to forget the whole business of what people are saying.
