All characters come from people I know, but after the initial inspiration, I tend to modify the characters so they fit with the story.

الناس يجهدون أنفسهم هكذا لثلاثة أسباب : إما لأنهم مجانين ، أو حمقى ، أو يحاولون النسيان

Who am I? And how, I wonder, will this story end?

I very seldom, very seldom, even know what my characters look like. I keep it vague.

I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.

E' la possibilità, non la garanzia, quella che mi fa andare avanti. Una specie di scomessa da parte mia. E chiamatemi pure pazzo, o sognatore o quel che vi pare, io credo che tutto sia possibile.
