I never thought I would see a free South Sudan.
I would normally never set out to write a trilogy.
People who live through transplants or disasters like Sept. 11 are survivors.
We got rid of Muammar Gaddafi. I never thought I would be able to write these words.
I want to be surprised by what people do, I don't want to work with people who need to be told what to do. I want people to show me what they've got.
No writer can really sustain two huge - I hate the word 'franchises.'
My wife thought I deserved it, but I always thought the Nobel a Western prize.
I would hope that my writing's cleaner than it was when I started.
I'm surprised by the fact that I like the word 'husband.' I thought I would hate it.
