north-wind america literature
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.
philosophical reading book
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.
two space giving
I had stories that needed more space than the hour and a half or two hours a movie gives you.
ghouls film exploration
In film, you can't go into analytical explorations because the audience will reject that.
aspiration tropics
My greatest aspiration was always to live in the tropics.
selling
I would very much like to become a best-selling author.
occupation novel great-french
I've always wondered why there isn't a great French novel about the German occupation. The nouveau roman authors weren't interested in telling that sort of thing.
realism
I only understand realism.
objectivity cameras literature
Hitchcock makes it very clear to us. There's an objective and a subjective camera, like there's a third- and a first-person narrator in literature.
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.
movie stories actors
All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It's like a personal therapy.
novel facade aesthetic
It's my own personal unconscious that ultimately creates the novel's aesthetic facade.
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.
rock-and-roll names rocks
I don't want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I'm suspicious.
