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.

I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.

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

I felt the need to tell stories to understand myself.

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

My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor.

If a spectator with a philosophical mind, somebody accustomed to reading books, gets the same kind of information in a movie, he might not fully understand it.
