beauty theme
I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.
believe reading writing
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.
humor thinking stories
My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor.
writing thinking reader
Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.
men giving males
Being a man (male "macho") does not give you right to anything.
humor thinking universe
I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.
long stories fantasy
I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.
pleasure copies
My pleasure was to copy, not to create.
intellectual patterns subjectivity
The essayist has to follow a certain intellectual pattern. The novelist has the advantage of using fantasy, of being subjective.
writing simple ukulele
I started writing movie scripts. They excited me a lot, but I didn't like them when they were finished because they were simple copies of the films I saw in childhood.
hygiene tardiness literature
Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.
literature taste watches
I am only interested in bad taste if I can enjoy a gruesome tango or watch a movie that makes me cry.
decision sides literature
I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.
believe reality scripts
I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution.
