All writers write about the past, and I try to make it come alive so you can see what happened.

I had to see and feel and be with the thing that I wanted to write about.

I try to write something that would interest anybody and keep them turning the page. You must have a plot and good storyline.

I write to try to find out who I am. One of my main themes is manliness. I think I'm trying to figure out what manliness really is.

Writers are the main landmarks of the past.

I write with as much objectivity as I can.
