I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.

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

Being a man (male "macho") does not give you right to anything.

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

Writers are not meant for action.

My pleasure was to copy, not to create.

What's better, a poetic intuition or an intellectual work? I think they complement each other.
