In real life, you don't know what's going to happen to you, so why would your character know? It's liberating to play the emotion your character is feeling at the time and not know what's coming up. I like it.

In real life, coincidences happen all the time. In novels, they are leapt upon with fury.

It's like real life: We don't get a preview of what's coming up, thank God, and we don't build our own character from what we're going to be informed with in the future.

You have your real life and then you have your work.

My language is a feel-thinking language, feeling and thinking at once, that is why it is a celebration of life, and at once it is a denunciation of everything that is not allowed in life to be real life, it's plenitude.

I think part of that is to create an environment where it's like real life, where you don't really know what's going to happen to you in a certain scene.
