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

I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.

Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.

I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution.

In a country like France, so ancient, their history is full of outstanding people, so they carry a heavy weight on their back. Who could write in French after Proust or Flaubert?

I would very much like to become a best-selling author.

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