Not dreams but night changes, not destiny but path changes, always keep your hopes alive, luck may or may not change, but time definitely chages.

I always felt, you don’t have a good time doin crime, you may as well find a job.

A friend of mine who is in the publishing business knew I was writing a book, and he said, 'Have you said anything yet about the good guy? Because I know you spend so much time with the bad guys.' Because they're fun. So then you have to make the good guy fun, in order to compete. That's the challenge.

I used to be able to write five pages a day, every day, no problem. Now a good day is five or four pages, and that's from 9:30 A.M. until 6 P.M.

There are 500 million people on Facebook, but what are they saying to each other? Not much.

I get letters. I get several a week, I think. A lot of people want a picture, a lot of people just want an autograph.

My characters have to talk, or they're out. They audition in early scenes. If they can't talk, they're given less to do, or thrown out.
