Really, when I write a book I'm the only one I have to please. That's the beauty of writing a book instead of a screenplay.

I won't read a book that starts with a description of the weather. I don't read books over 300 pages, though I'll make an exception for Don Delillo.

It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to sound like it does.

Bad guys are not bad guys twenty-four hours a day.

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

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

If work was a good thing, the rich would have it all and not let you do it.
