The most important part of a story is the ending. No one reads a book to get to the middle.

I'm the most translated writer in the world, behind Lenin, Tolstoy, Gorki and Jules Verne. And they're all dead.

If I need something, I'll invent it.

If you're a singer you lose your voice. A baseball player loses his arm. A writer gets more knowledge, and if he's good, the older he gets, the better he writes.

See, heroes never die. John Wayne isn't dead, Elvis isn't dead. Otherwise you don't have a hero. You can't kill a hero. That's why I never let him get older.

Nobody reads a book to get to the middle.

I wrote the original Mike Hammer as a comic, Mike Danger.
