I think what we have in this country is a little more dangerous in a way because it can’t be seen fully. It’s sorta internal censorship. We censor each other.

I don’t think what happens in this country is censorship, I should say that. It’s something else. It’s not banning. It’s something else.

One of the reasons I think the ultra right-wing has such power in this country is that no one talks out.

Literature is that which denounces and slashes apart the repressing machine at the level of the signified.

I mean, once work’s out there it’s meant to be used.

We get on the bandwagon in all sorts of ways – you know minor ways and major ways – like what you’ve just encountered which isn’t censorship exactly, it was something sort of uglier in...

You know I think many writers are dangerous to the establishment. I mean, they go against all the rules that you’re told writing.

There’s a backlash against womyn that’s really bad right now.
