|  When I write, the first blank page, or any blank page, means nothing to me. What means something is a page that has been filled with words. | | Titles are not only important, they are essential for me. I cannot write without a title. | | I wrote for a weekly magazine and then edited a literary magazine, but I did not really feel comfortable with the profession of journalism itself. | | I do not consider myself a Hispanic writer. | | I first came out against Castro in June 1968, fifteen months after my book had been published, and you cannot imagine how quickly a void was created around me. | | I am the only British writer who writes in Spanish. | | I describe my works as books, but my publishers in Spain, in the United States, and elsewhere insist on calling them novels. | | For me, words are just words, nothing else. |
