I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.

I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.

The essayist has to follow a certain intellectual pattern. The novelist has the advantage of using fantasy, of being subjective.

We should try to understand our innermost needs. We shouldn't use irony to reduce their power.

I don't want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I'm suspicious.

If the novelist shares his or her problems with the characters, he or she is able to study his personal unconscious.

I would very much like to become a best-selling author.
