What's better, a poetic intuition or an intellectual work? I think they complement each other.

I write for somebody who has my own limitations. My reader has a certain difficulty with concentrating, which in my case comes from being a film viewer.

It's my own personal unconscious that ultimately creates the novel's aesthetic facade.

My only fantasy about writing was that in my old days, after directing many masterpieces, I would write my memoirs.

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

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