"I think most writers would like a quiet space, complete isolation, in which they control their own time. Spaces of creativity in which there's very little interruption."

As you get drawn more and more into other activities, like political activities, very demanding, you have to find different rhythms of writing; I think that's the word I'm looking for, rhythms of creativity which then, of course, become very intense. I think your writing then tends to be very intensified simply because there are other demands which seem equally important.
