- Impossible
- |

The translator's task is to create, in his or her own language, the same tensions appearing in the original. That's hard!

Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.
- Attention

My pleasure was to copy, not to create.
- Old
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My only fantasy about writing was that in my old days, after directing many masterpieces, I would write my memoirs.
- Growing Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Kafka truly illustrates the way the environment oppresses the individual. He shows how the unconscious controls our lives.

- He

- Heavy Weight

In a country like France, so ancient, their history is full of outstanding people, so they carry a heavy weight on their back. Who could write in French after Proust or Flaubert?
- He

- Nov 07, 2020
If the novelist shares his or her problems with the characters, he or she is able to study his personal unconscious.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If a spectator with a philosophical mind, somebody accustomed to reading books, gets the same kind of information in a movie, he might not fully understand it.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

I only understand realism.
- Problem

I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.
- Been
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I haven't been the kind of writer about whom book-length academic studies have been written.

I felt the need to tell stories to understand myself.
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I'm suspicious.

I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
