I was born left-handed, but I was made to use my other hand. When I was writing 'Famished Road, ' which was very long, I got repetitive stress syndrome. My right wrist collapsed, so I started using my left hand. The prose I wrote with my left hand came out denser, so later on I had to change it.

The best writing is not about the writer, the best writing is absolutely not about the writer, it's about us, it's about the reader.
I am not fighting for success, just to get more beauty out of myself and share it with more people.
