Many of the books I read, I had to read them in French, English, or Italian, because they hadn't been translated into Spanish.

Nothing good ever happens by itself - it is achieved through striving, though this sometimes bears a high price.

If, as a Spaniard, I am so often offended by the stereotypes that abound regarding my country, how can I accept and repeat the ones that fall even more heavily upon Israel?

As a writer, you live in permanent self-doubt; you're on permanent trial.

Money makes people bold and cosmopolitan; if you are poor, you are naturally conservative. It's not easy to be a bohemian when you have to worry about what is going to happen with you and with your next paycheck.

There can be no better prize for a writer than one awarded by an international book fair.

I'm afraid I have an incurable urge for teaching.

When I write short fiction or novellas, I like to leave a hint of the fantastic, of the unreal. If you write a completely fantastic novel with ghosts and everything, the effect is less powerful than if you portray an absolutely realistic situation and, in the middle of this, you put a layer of fantasy, of mystery.

I have absolute respect for Israel and people in Israel who are critical of their own country.
