I believe in characters as vehicles of exposition. Their voices are full of hidden clues, and I like to listen to them.

It's my own personal unconscious that ultimately creates the novel's aesthetic facade.

Kafka truly illustrates the way the environment oppresses the individual. He shows how the unconscious controls our lives.

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

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

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.

My only fantasy about writing was that in my old days, after directing many masterpieces, I would write my memoirs.
