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.

I do believe that reading can help you understand what you're writing and see what others are doing. But sometimes the desire for more information can act as an inhibitor.

Contrary to what Kafka does, I always like to refer all of my fictions to the level of reality, He, on the other hand, leaves them at an imaginary level.

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

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

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

I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.
