Many People Say I Smile More In

I Think My Wallander Stories Give A Fairly Good Image Of The World In The 1990s. I Don't Regret Anything About That - On The Contrary!

Have I Ever Written Anything That Has Really Changed Something? What I Believe Is That You Can't Change Anything Without Using Art. I Believe That The Drops Wear Away The Stone. I Try To Be Part Of That Army.

The Stories I Create Are Never As Awful As Reality.

Children Get Acquainted With Each Other In A Special Way, They Do Not Make Contracts As Adults, They Believe Each Other Or Not. Childish Friendships Often End In Violence. You May Become An Enemy All Of A Sudden As Well As Notice That You Are Someone's Best Friend.

As A Writer, I Am An Intellectual. I Believe In The Ideals Of The Enlightenment, I Believe In The Written Word, In Dialogue And In Truth. I Hate Lies More Than Anything Else. Most Of The Time I React By Writing.
