My writing has always been what you call 'narrative fiction' in the sense that it's got very strong plots and twists at the end.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right.

My greatest fear is disappointing the reader, so each book has to be better than the one before.

Go to Venice. Find Scorpia. And you will find your destiny.

Routine is the one thing the can get you killed. It tells the enemy where you're going and when you're going to be there.

We have no money. We have no possessions. Maybe that is why we value the things we do have ... loyalty and friendship.

You're trying to tell me that everything you've done is for a good cause. You think that all this killing is worth it because of the results. I'm not sure I agree. Lots of people work for charity; lots of people want to change the world. But they don't have to behave like you.
