I travel, I read, I write, I have other lives. But when I have a camera, I know that's my country, my island.
We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law.
What I would not like is to be ignored. I write from the heart. I don't write for me. I write for my readers.
I write on sacred stories, symbols and rituals of all cultures - European, American and Chinese - but my audiences, typically, like me to focus on India.
There will be, and should be, reams and reams of analysis, even praise, for our friend but also even larger measures of non-analysis and, certainly, condemnation for James Baldwin, the Negro writer.
I don't really have a metaphor for how I write, but it kinda feels like chipping away at a big dark object that I can't really see.
If I have an idea, I write it down, although I usually carry a little dictation machine with me because I'm too lazy to write.
Mostly I sit alone in a room and cry and do my job - so when they let me out of my cave to go on tour, I really listen to my readers.
I don't put a lot of description in the books because I write books the way I like to read them, and that is I like to build images and be a creative reader, and so I write that way.
