Inspiration is an empty bank account.

My father was Catholic, my mother was Protestant, and because of that I got Christened in both churches, so I've got all these names... but my Dad always called me Mick.

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

I try to stay in good physical shape, I don't smoke, I don't drink.

If the public likes you, you're good.

Hemingway hated me. I sold 200 million books, and he didn't. Of course most of mine sold for 25 cents, but still... you look at all this stuff with a grain of salt.
