There are always messages, even enigmas to be searched, mysteries to be solved in all of my books. I like to puzzle readers, but I do not make so to the point of being so complex that they will lose interest in the plot. And that for me is the essence of every great literature around the world, and that’s been so for ages.(....)Some were inpired by real life characters, some other books I wrote are hybrid fiction/non-fiction, so I pretty much get inspired by people who have lived, and even who are still breathing among us… so don’t get discouraged if I didn’t mention your personality traits yet. I might even have your name over my books, I must some day…

We would not be ashamed of doing some of the things we do in private, if the number of sane human beings who do them in public were large enough.

We seldom look up to the person, we usually look up to their persona.

There would definitely be way fewer instances of cheating, if the average couple did not have sex only when the woman feels like it.

Some men would not still be HIV negative or alive, if they had managed to sleep with some of the women with whom they want or wanted to have sex.

Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.
