In my own writing, I think of myself as a realist who exaggerates a little.

My point of view when I make a book or I make a movie is to see the humanistic point of view. The point of view of the daily life of normal people.

I don't quite operate within the realist mode. I kind of push the stories out towards the cusp of believability - that's the area of interest for me.

I define myself from a vision, from a point of view of life.

I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.

What I've learned is that life is a balance between idealism and realism.

I'm a realist.

I am a mixture of idealist and realist.

The fact is, for all the critics' talk about me as a realist, I'm making everything up - everything. It is all about imagining with me.

When I'm writing from a character's viewpoint, in essence I become that character; I share their thoughts, I see the world through their eyes and try to feel everything they feel.
