Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.

I don't have traceable literary models because I haven't had great literary influences in my life.

All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It's like a personal therapy.

I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.

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 have written every one of my novels to convince somebody of something.

I haven't been the kind of writer about whom book-length academic studies have been written.
