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

I do believe that reading can help you understand what you're writing and see what others are doing. But sometimes the desire for more information can act as an inhibitor.

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

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.

The writer needs to react to his or her own internal universe, to his or her own point of view. If he or she doesn't have a personal point of view, it's impossible to be a creator.
