writing reality novel
I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality.
writing order imagination
For someone who writes fiction, in order to activate the imagination and the unconscious, it's essential to be free.
country writing people
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?
writing fantasy memoir
My only fantasy about writing was that in my old days, after directing many masterpieces, I would write my memoirs.
writing film cases
I write for somebody who has my own limitations. My reader has a certain difficulty with concentrating, which in my case comes from being a film viewer.
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.
writing thinking reader
Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.
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.
rock-and-roll rocks literature
I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot.
novel facade aesthetic
It's my own personal unconscious that ultimately creates the novel's aesthetic facade.
teaching people madness
Teaching is a good distraction, and I am in contact with young people, which is very gratifying.
dream reality thinking
I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.
reality hands fiction
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.
reality cinema modern
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.
