It's not that big a mystery about types. It's not even that big a mystery why so many people are picking up on things now. It's like we were talking about the primitive thing before and all that.

A big success can be very confusing if it comes too early in your life. When you are young, you are more vulnerable to vanity.

But those things don't change you. If I am pretentious, I was before, I haven't changed. The only thing is, I am less anxious now.
Things have changed in Latin America now. We mostly have democratic governments in Latin America, so the position of the writer has changed. It is not as Neruda used to say, that a Latin American writer walks around with the body of his people on his back. Now, we have citizens, we have public means of expression, political parties, congress, unions. So, the writer's position has changed, we now consider ourselves to be citizens - not spokespeople for everybody - but citizens that participate in the political and social process of the country.

I found my mind has changed over the last years. Different vulnerabilities - things that I was never vulnerable to before I am now. And vice-versa. Things I was vulnerable to then are like water off a duck's back. I have a lot less fear. I think I'm getting more determined.

For many years, I did my best to report on the issues of the day in as objective a manner as possible.

And that is what I propose to do.

Now that I have all that, I understand that the superfluous things can turn to you into a very stupid idiot-type.

Now before friendship, it is merchandise.
