Being a man (male "macho") does not give you right to anything.

I believe in characters as vehicles of exposition. Their voices are full of hidden clues, and I like to listen to them.

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

If the novelist shares his or her problems with the characters, he or she is able to study his personal unconscious.

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

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

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