We should try to understand our innermost needs. We shouldn't use irony to reduce their power.

I only understand realism.

Kafka truly illustrates the way the environment oppresses the individual. He shows how the unconscious controls our lives.

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.

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.

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.
