Kafka is not interested in documenting the manners and mores of any particular place; he is not interested in probing the psyche of individual characters.

Since my first encounter with Kafka's writing, I've been interested in a quality that, while he was alive, stood in the way of his achieving a large reputation: his allegory.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

I'm not interested in characters who aren't broken. I'm not interested in happy people. It just doesn't draw me as a writer.

I'm not interested in a rock/jazz fusion.

The externals are important but I'm not interested in superficiality.
