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.

Hitchcock makes it very clear to us. There's an objective and a subjective camera, like there's a third- and a first-person narrator in literature.

It doesn't matter that the way of life shown by Hollywood was phony. It helped you hope.

Writers are not meant for action.

I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.

Book reviews have never helped me. Most of them erred in their interpretations and their work has been a waste of time.

I had stories that needed more space than the hour and a half or two hours a movie gives you.
