I've had a wonderful life. What people are going to write about me 10 years after I'm dead - who cares?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hope people will like my novels after I'm dead. And I hope my children think about me in good ways, by and large.
All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.
If I live for another ten years I shall probably have written all that I want to write.
I write about living, not dying.
All my life, I will continue obstinately to write about love, solitude and passion among the kind of people I know. The rest don't interest me.
I write about my life.
My goal is that after I am dead and gone, I want people to remember me for the person I am.
When I'm dead, somebody can write my biography. I wrote a national hymn, an anthem, which I don't want to present to that country. But I have a deal with my wife - when I'm dead, she should offer it, because then I'm safe.
By the end of the week, if I'm still alive, I get to write whatever I want about it all.
One of the most attractive things about writing your autobiography is that you're not dead.
