I invented the historical spy novel.
I don't really write plots. I use history as the engine that drives everything.
I'm not really a mass market writer.
The best Paris I know now is in my head.
I have a very serious censorship office inside my head; it censors things that I could tell you that you would never forget, and I don't want to be the person to stick that in your brain.
Live today, for tomorrow we die.
