Memory is the fourth dimension to any landscape.

Dostoevsky was my literary idol for a long time.

To make films, you have to have boundless energy; you have to work and play with others really, really well, and I'm really a more contemplative kind of person. I like to sit at home and think, a lot.

I always tell people that revelling in big ideas for me is kind of like an antidote to existential angst.

I'd say that the question whether love still exists plays the same role in my novels as the question of God's existence in Dostoevsky.

The judge said I was a menace to society because I had put crime on a scientific basis.
