No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.
When I was writing 'The White Tiger' I lived in a building pretty much exactly like the one I described in this novel, and the people in the book are the people I lived with back then. So I didn't have to do much research to find them.
I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.
