About This Quote

When it comes to writing, there are many different things that you can do with your words. You can write poetry, songs or novels that will make millions of people very happy. You can write letters to friends and family members. Or, you can write about how they are doing in life.

When I began writing, my goal was to use the words of my friends and the songs they sang as my alphabet. I would write down their songs and make them into one big book, which is called "My Suburb" (I know what you're thinking! But this is part of the secret recipe of my success). Nowadays, my goal is to use the great symbols of human history to communicate with all of humanity.
