Afin d'être aussi libre que possible dans ma propre imagination, je ne peux pas prendre de positions fermées.
Interview magazine Salon (février 1998)
Contexte et précisions
En anglais : "In order to be as free as I possibly can, in my own imagination, I can't take positions that are closed. Everything I've ever done, in the writing world, has been to expand articulation, rather than to close it, to open doors, sometimes, not even closing the book -- leaving the endings open for reinterpretation, revisitation, a little ambiguity."
