Every time I write a nonfiction book I get sued.

I write a thousand words a day. Nothing will stop me, I mean nothing, until the book is finished. I'm disciplined in spite of myself.

I certainly believe it's over for the jury system, but we won't admit it for a while.

No one I know of has ever had this experience-where you had to sit and wait and wait for a DNA test to come back just so you can write the last page of the book.

I enjoy adapting my own work, or anybody's work. I like to adapt books.

The Onion Field, that one got pretty close to me because I was a cop when it happened. I saw some of the indifference that my police department showed to the surviving officer.
