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.

All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It's like a personal therapy.

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

It doesn't matter that the way of life shown by Hollywood was phony. It helped you hope.

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

My greatest aspiration was always to live in the tropics.

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