I believe that people who don't achieve anything in life are isolated and resent those that are successful.

I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality.

Writers are not meant for action.

In a country like France, so ancient, their history is full of outstanding people, so they carry a heavy weight on their back. Who could write in French after Proust or Flaubert?

I am only interested in bad taste if I can enjoy a gruesome tango or watch a movie that makes me cry.

Contrary to what Kafka does, I always like to refer all of my fictions to the level of reality, He, on the other hand, leaves them at an imaginary level.

In film, you can't go into analytical explorations because the audience will reject that.
