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

Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.

I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.

It's essential not to have an ideology, not to be a member of a political party. While the writer can have certain political views, he has to be careful not to have his hands tied.

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

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.

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.
