You can take my heart, but I can't let you take my dog.

I'm sold as a literary writer in Holland; I'm sold as crime fiction in England. I think of it as just literature.

You can only make decisions with the information you have at the time

I grew up reading crime fiction and, especially in the '80s, women were just there to be saved or screwed.

Everyone had a reason for everything they did, even if that reason was sometimes stupidity.

I have a few unusual fans, as you can imagine, so I try to protect the privacy of my home life.

Don't try to follow in my footsteps. Make your own footsteps! No one else can tell the stories that are inside of you except for you.
