I'm sure anyone who likes a good crime, provided it is not the victim.

Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food.

Revenge is sweet and not fattening.

The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say.

Really, the novelist has the best casting since he doesn't have to cope with the actors and all the rest. -Alfred Hitchcock

I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.

The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.
