In film, you can't go into analytical explorations because the audience will reject that.

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

I believe that people who don't achieve anything in life are isolated and resent those that are successful.

I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.

I don't want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I'm suspicious.

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

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