To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing.

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

I never see my bad guys as simply bad. They want pretty much the same thing that you and I want: they want to be happy.

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.

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.

I don't believe in writer's block or waiting for inspiration. If you're a writer, you sit down and write.

There are cities that get by on their good looks, offer climate and scenery, views of mountains or oceans, rockbound or with palm trees. And there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living.
