I know a lot of people who have tremendous commercial success and they go directly for it. There&#39;s something that has always been difficult about that for me.

Hundreds of political prisoners still suffer in Tibetan prisons. Freedom of speech is not allowed in any sense. It is illegal to possess a photo of the Dalai Lama.

I always divide people into two groups. Those who live by what they know to be a lie, and those who live by what they believe, falsely, to be the truth.

I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don&#39;t you think?
