Quotations:
"It is my hope that literature in this country eventually will not be segmented into 'Asian-American' or 'African-American' but be seen as simply 'American.' This country is becoming increasingly complex and textured, and there are so many stories. I simply want to tell some of them — with compassion, eloquence, and an ear for truths".
"My approach to fiction is the same as to reporting — you’re not successful unless you’ve gotten your point across."
"I think the most important thing a writer can do is keep the pen moving."
