I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot.

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

The essayist has to follow a certain intellectual pattern. The novelist has the advantage of using fantasy, of being subjective.

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

I have written every one of my novels to convince somebody of something.

I allow my intuition to lead my path.

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