Haruki Murakami Country Quotations

I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.

I didn't want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that's a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I'm proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it.
