I dont like any of them, because they don't read the books. In Kiss Me Deadly my story is better than his story. Anthony Quinn played in The Lond Wait and he didn't read the book either.

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.

I'm actually a softie. Tough guys get killed too early... I've got a full head of hair and don't wear eyeglasses.

If the public likes you, you're good.

Now I'm not an author, I'm a writer, that's all I am.

If the public likes you, you're good. Shakespeare was a common, down-to-earth writer in his day.

No one likes my books except the public.
