What I do believe is that there is always a relationship between writing and reading, a constant interplay between the writer on the one hand and the reader on the other

I was able to read a movie before I was able to read a book

When I write, I enjoy myself so much that what is being written really needs no reader

If the sleep of reason produces monsters, what does the sleep of unreason produce?

I was never a true journalist, I was a movie critic.

It means that no matter what you write, be it a biography, an autobiography, a detective novel, or a conversation on the street, it all becomes fiction as soon as you write it down.

Dialogue in fiction is always written to be read in silence. The page is the limit. Dialogue on stage and on the screen is meant to be spoken. The voice is the limit.
