00:01
In order to write, we need to go within.
00:13
I am very interested in surfaces and what lies beneath them.
00:17
I always have been.
00:21
What I recall most of that night
00:23
is how the passion fruit flowers were rich on the vine.
00:27
Their scent as surreal as the man weeping
00:31
and walking along the rough avenue,
00:33
with only a child to observe his fall.
00:39
From that moment on, I thought that writing was something that changed things.
00:48
I used to be able to hear a conversation three tables away in a restaurant.
00:53
Friends complained that I disappeared,
00:56
because what I'd do is go off to the loo and write things down.
01:05
I used to write on the kitchen table.

01:52
Oh my God.
01:54
But it was too late.
01:56
People were not used to women talking frankly about their lives,
02:00
about their emotions, and this is what I had done.
02:04
It wasn't so much a matter of trying to shock people.
02:09
It was feeling the freedom that went into my work.
02:15
You couldn't take that away from me.
02:17
Oh my God.
02:19
Oh my God.
02:20
Oh.
02:33
Today's time.
02:34
I'm the 1st news.
02:35
This is my days giving a walk or whatever Iкjit haft.
02:37
Turn it up to me.
02:39
There they were all games and animations and artists.
02:43
I guess that you know,
