I had stories that needed more space than the hour and a half or two hours a movie gives you.

I'm not a best-seller, but through translations, I've accumulated some money.

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

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

My greatest aspiration was always to live in the tropics.

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

I only understand realism.
