Quote

Fiction is often most powerful when the author is exploring an issue - and not writing like a know-it-all who has the perfect answer.

Subject matter that is not bound to reality offers more opportunity to write a unique story and cinematically present it in very unique ways.

Fiction and nonfiction, for me, involve very different processes.

I think that's what fiction writing is actually all about. It's about trying to solve problems in creative ways.

I think anything goes in fiction as long as it fits within the interior logic of the work itself and is presented in a disciplined manner.

Fiction should be about moral dilemmas that are so bloody difficult that the author doesn't know the answer.

I just want fiction to remain a vital force for entertainment and not just for contemplation. Both things can exist.

There is no longer any such thing as fiction or nonfiction; there's only narrative.

There is a real connection between Philosopy and fiction.
