Paulo Coelho
Physical elegance, which is what I am talking about here, comes from the body. This is no superficial matter, but rather the way that man found to honour the way he places his two feet on the ground.
When you write an article about anything, trolls use the comments to attack. They feel frustrated - but haters are losers. It's not good to feed this aspect. It's more intelligent to be constructive.
I'm modern because I make the difficult seem easy, and so I can communicate with the whole world.
I hate to be smart.
I have spent every New Year's Eve since 1992 in Lourdes. I spend the hour of my birth every year in the grotto. It's a place with meaning for me.
Twitter is my bar. I sit at the counter and listen to the conversations, starting others, feeling the atmosphere.
I've done everything I wanted to do, even if I have had to pay a very high price - which has been the case most of the time.
This may sound a little bit idealistic, but when I go to my blog, my Facebook page, my Twitter account, I talk to different people from all over the world, and you see how it's easy to establish a dialogue.
My readers - and I get 400 emails for a day, my readers normally they say, well, you understand me, and I answer, you do understand me also. We are in the same level.
My literature is much more the result of a paradox than that of an implacable logic, typical of police novels. The paradox is the tension that exists in my soul.
I don't set out to write about spirituality; I am free to do something different every time.
I don't go to parties in general.
Today, writers want to impress other writers.
I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.
In the United States, I am a great success, but I am not a celebrity.
