"I hate to write and spend months just waiting for the film to get financed.

I like to have some kind of coherent energy that takes you through writing, preparing, shooting."

-- Olivier Assayas

Iâ€™d always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s, as substitutes for experience.”
