One puts off the biography like you put off death. To write an autobiography is to etch the words on your own gravestone.

The great wheel of fire of ancient wisdom, silence and word engendering the myth of the origin, human action engendering the epic voyage toward the other; historical violence revealing the tragic flaw of the hero who must then return to the land of origin; myth of death and renewal and silence from which new words and images will arise, keeps on turning in spite of the blindness of purely lineal thought.

I always felt a little worm inside me: 'Now you need to write a novel with a woman protagonist.'

I started my own magazine with drawings, commentary, news, film reviews and drawings.

Y luego el patecal ése, que no te pudo salvar con sus medicinas, aunque tú ni las necesitabas, pues de que te llaman ya ni quien te detenga.

I must write the book out in my head now, before I sit down.
