“Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.” — Manuel Puig Quote

Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.

I began teaching in New York because I needed to stay in the United States and didn't have my immigration papers in order, so working for a university was a way of resolving the issue.

I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution.

I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.

I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

It's a responsibility of the writer to get the reader out of the story somehow.

With 'Attachments,' my goal was to write a really good romantic comedy. I wanted the reader to be smiling throughout.

I'm not the best actor I can be, so I'm just working on it. I'm not the quickest reader in the world but when I get an acting book I can read it in two days.

I really like it when you can step outside of what's come before and find a surprise for the reader and find a surprise for yourself.
