To me, marriage is the ultimate mystery.

How do you keep safe when your whole day is as wide and empty as the sky?

I think mystery writers and thriller writers - whatever genre you want to call it - are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way.

We're into this barrage of pop culture - you know, TV, movies, the Internet. We become creatures that we've made up, made of certain different flotsam from pop culture and certain different personas that are in style.

The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.

I had no sympathy for drama queens.

It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
