People with lots of doubts sometimes find life more oppressive and exhausting than others, but they're more energetic - they aren't robots.
I don't know whether these people are going to find themselves, but as they live their lives they have no choice but to face up to the image others have of them. They're forced to look at themselves in a mirror, and they often manage to glimpse something of themselves.
I vividly remember the stories my grandfather told me about the carnage of the First World War, which people tend to forget was one of the worst massacres in human history.
I don't go for people who lead full and satisfying lives.
My books are about losers, about people who've lost their way and are engaged in a search.
I've always been drawn to tormented people full of contradictions.
personally I don't trust literature that soothes people's consciences.
