I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot.
From Manuel Puig
My pleasure was to copy, not to create.
My greatest aspiration was always to live in the tropics.
It's essential not to have an ideology, not to be a member of a political party. While the writer can have certain political views, he has to be careful not to have his hands tied.
Writers are not meant for action.
Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.
What's better, a poetic intuition or an intellectual work? I think they complement each other.
What better model of a synthesis than a nocturnal dream? Dreams simplify, don't they?
We should try to understand our innermost needs. We shouldn't use irony to reduce their power.
The writer needs to react to his or her own internal universe, to his or her own point of view. If he or she doesn't have a personal point of view, it's impossible to be a creator.
