Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.

Modern American cinema seems to me superficial. The intention is to understand a certain reality, and the result is nothing but a photographing of that reality.

I am only interested in bad taste if I can enjoy a gruesome tango or watch a movie that makes me cry.

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.

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

The writer needs to react to his or her own internal universe, to his or her own point of view. If he or she doesn't have a personal point of view, it's impossible to be a creator.
