Janet Fitch

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.

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

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.
