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

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

Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.

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

I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.

Contrary to what Kafka does, I always like to refer all of my fictions to the level of reality, He, on the other hand, leaves them at an imaginary level.

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