To me, writing is the most fun. It's not always fun, but finally when you make it come out the way you want, it's then you can say, 'It's fun, boy.'

A man can be in two different places and he will be two different men. Maybe if you think of more places he will be more men, but two is enough for now.

There's nothing like work to take your mind off your worries.

I got halfway through 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.' I don't get it at all. What's the big thrill? It's boring.

It's my attempt to remain invisible, not distract the reader from the story with obvious writing.

I don't get in a position to be frightened. I don't do anything dangerous, and I always pay my bills.

I want the reader to know what's going on. So there's never a mystery in my books.
