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

As a rule, one should never place form over content.

We should try to understand our innermost needs. We shouldn't use irony to reduce their power.

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

The essayist has to follow a certain intellectual pattern. The novelist has the advantage of using fantasy, of being subjective.

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

I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.
