As a writer, I need space to work, so that I can write without [feeling trapped in a] constant state of struggle and conflict. If I'm not being clear, I want my sentence to be for me, mine, and not simply a sentence responding to the comment of another. When I was writing articles for Arshaq Al Aswat, I found myself always being [in a state of] reaction, and not action. I believe a successful person is someone who does and doesn't simply react. I think an intellectual shouldn't spend all his time debating others.
