"While writing for Arab readers, it is very important to think about how to get your ideas across. In order to reach everyone, you should make sure to transmit your messages without provoking or drawing the attention of political, religious, and social censorship. Skilled writers are skilled smugglers of ideas. They encrypt their ideas to get their message across smoothly."

"I would, first, advise them to start writing about what they know best (i.e. themselves, their immediate environments, feelings, etc.). Writers should also hone their craft by constant practice, producing many drafts, as haste is a detriment to a writer’s success. My last piece of advice is that, when they achieve success, they should not become arrogant; arrogance can incapacitate writers. Voltaire rightfully says that “the writer dies suffocating under bouquets of flowers.”"

"I have spent many years in Paris. I got married there, started my small family there, and received my PhD at the Sorbonne. Thus, I am very familiar with the issues that could have attracted French and Western media, and paved the way to my fame at the international level; however, I am not interested in that fame. Glory and fame do not mean much to me. I understand that many Algerian writers might have a different attitude, which I respect. But for me, nothing equals the glory of being close to your people and heritage."

"When we lose a love, we write a poem; when we lose our homeland, we write a novel"

"I am not thinking of a cut-off point yet"

"I have a sort of thought process I go through. And what I normally do with my accompanist is that we will talk through the whole show beforehand. You go through every song and we say, oe be careful of that part, and that part and remember to do that there and so on. You get all those things out of the way and it’s filed in your brain, so by the time you walk on stage you actually do it for the second time"

"Terribly! Yes, yes, yes, and also, it’s quite important for me to be nervous, because if I’m not then it feels like it doesn’t matter enough"

"And after that I always tried to do that with every show and every album, there are no throw-away songs and they must all stand strong"

"It all begins with them, the source, the origins, this intimate light that has always guided us, my sisters, Soorya and Salonee, and me. My parents are about twenty and twenty-eight years old in this photo. They were lovers of the arts. This is how Soorya became a dancer, Salonee a painter, and I a writer. Saraswaty and Balgopal Nirsimloo were open doors to the future, imbued with humanism, respect for others, and remarkable modesty. What we owe them is impossible to measure."

"About twenty books, as many translations, decades of work and passion. My whole life is here, there is no need for other images. My face will in no way express everything that is here. From the first published text, La cité Atlee, in a 1973 anthology, and the first collection of short stories, Solstices, published in 1977, to the latest novel, Manger l'autre, published by Grasset in 2018. It is a long, slow journey to the heart of words, sentences, dreams, obsessions, violence, and silence."

"I did the first murder trial in which the evidence of battered-woman syndrome was admitted in Victoria. But I have a constant awareness that cases have, at heart, personal human tragedies affecting many more people than the accused."

"These war crime trials are to let the world know these crimes won't be tolerated by the international community, that crimes against humanity by any nation or individual will be dealt with."

"It's always disturbing to be confronted with inhumanity and depravity. I find it very hard to accept that thinking, feeling human beings can direct killing. Ordinary family men engage in mass rape. They must dehumanise their victims. They don't see them as human beings. The accused could be your next-door neighbour, they look so ordinary these commanders."

"The past is part of our identity and eve as i sit in Europe thousands miles away from my country, my mind is focused on my ancestors, my past and my culture."

"I had just received the Ouest France Étonnants Voyageurs prize. Between that moment and my first book, Solstices, forty years had passed. But writing has been my constant, my life, my reason for being. I can't imagine what I would have been without it. It has made me an observer of the world, of people, of hearts. A sometimes amazed, often terrified witness of the world as we experience it, as we shape it."

"Justice Beazley said she would bring three of her core beliefs — community, education and rule of law — to the role."

"I won't be able to look at my family at this stage."
