As a rule, one should never place form over content.

I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.

If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.

I don't have traceable literary models because I haven't had great literary influences in my life.

I am only interested in bad taste if I can enjoy a gruesome tango or watch a movie that makes me cry.

I began teaching in New York because I needed to stay in the United States and didn't have my immigration papers in order, so working for a university was a way of resolving the issue.

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