Quote

I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.

It's always tricky, meeting an author you've admired.

I don't quite know what an auteur is.

I'm very strongly in favor of the auteur theory.

I don't really believe in the auteur theory.

I know how to work with people. I've worked with the same people for 10 years. I'm not that kind of auteur. I hear ideas.

There are a lot of authors in the world, so it's difficult to find a unique niche to present your take on things. That is always a challenge for any author.

I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.

The things I write are for those who are willing to accept a new relationship between the reader and the author.

There's a unique bond of trust between readers and authors that I don't believe exists in any other art form; as a reader, I trust a novelist to give me his or her best effort, however flawed.
