Manuel Puig
Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
Manuel Puig
I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.
Manuel Puig
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.
Manuel Puig
Writers are not meant for action.
Manuel Puig
If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.
