I only understand realism.

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

For someone who writes fiction, in order to activate the imagination and the unconscious, it's essential to be free.

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

I write for somebody who has my own limitations. My reader has a certain difficulty with concentrating, which in my case comes from being a film viewer.

I am only interested in bad taste if I can enjoy a gruesome tango or watch a movie that makes me cry.

I've always wondered why there isn't a great French novel about the German occupation. The nouveau roman authors weren't interested in telling that sort of thing.
