“Everyone deserves to have someone fight for them, even--and especially--when they're unable to fight for themselves. You did that for me, once. You fought for me, saved my life, and I've hated you every day since because it meant that I then had to make the same choice: to fight, and to keep fighting, day after day. And that's hard. It's exhausting and it's painful and it hurts. But I eventually realized that it's also a part of life, and it will all be worth it one day. I have to believe that--for me, and for you.”

“I grew up speaking two languages, mother tongue and national tongue, then in my late teens I assimilated English from pirated dvds of American movies; soon after I absorbed another language, from the South of India, again from movies. Years later when I started writing and got WiFi, that's when an entire new horizon opened up. This time I found myself drawn to Turkish and Spanish, which became second languages in the canon, after my first English. I don't describe, I embody - I don't study a culture, I disappear into the culture.”
