I like the south of Spain, notably for the Moorish influence and the weather.

Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, may have had his charms, but he really couldn't be considered hip.

I liked 35 and in both my novels that is the age of the lead characters. I tried making them my age but they just seemed to keep moaning about stuff.

Also, I preached to gangs on the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx - and miracles began to happen.

I work best when there is adversity: I seem to get calmer the more the fur is flying.

All I did was ask for rights. I didn't attack anyone. I didn't harass anyone. I didn't oppose the system or the country or the authority. All I said is, 'Why can't I drive?'
