Full of thrills and tension - but smart and human too.

I'd been a thriller reader all my life.

I was in television drama, which is a first cousin to the movies, and I trust myself to make the right decisions.

British crime stories tend to be very internal, psychological, claustrophobic, very limited in terms of geography.

I'd never believed in luck. Never had any cause to. Never relied on it, because I never could.

The key to thrillers is vicarious pleasure.

I said nothing. I’m good at saying nothing. I don’t like talking. I could go the rest of my life without saying another word, if I had to.
