"When I was a boy, I was not a believer at first, not yet, but then I changed my outlook and with it my writing also changed. When I start working, I start from scratch, I don't document or prepare myself by doing research, but I try to turn what I am doing into something else. For me, writing is listening and for me to find it interesting it must be a new experience every single time. It is my desire to createsomething that was not yet there."
