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

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.

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.

Skip the boring parts.

Everyone has his own sound. I'm not going to presume how to tell anybody how to write.

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