In another life I would be a medievalist. I loved Chaucer, far more than Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's plays are more violent than 'Scarface.'

It would be difficult to write a convincing ghost story set on a sunny day in a big city.

Stephane Richard is far more attuned to the market than Didier Lombard.

If you were writing a short ghost story, I would say start very quietly and go, 'One, two, three jump.' Or start with a jump and make it jumpier. But with a long story, it must have rises and falls.

Throughout my life, I have valued relationships far more than the professionalism.
