Quote

I wouldn't characterize my work, however, as directly political.

If you want to know about my politics, the only way to do that is to look at my work.

As a writer, I have readers who will have a range of political views. I don't think they look to me for political guidance.

I took a political stance early on, but I don't think my work is overtly political. I respond to events.

My work is not directly about the social or political.

If giving money to a politician prejudiced my ability to think and write honestly, I wouldn't do it. Fortunately, it doesn't.

I do what I do, and write what I write, without calculating what is worth what and so on. Fortunately, I am not a banker or an accountant. I feel that there is a time when a political statement needs to be made and I make it.

I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.

I don't make political work. I don't make work that criticises the state. I make as human work as I can.
