Ken Follett
My favorite period is World War II, and I'm in the middle of writing my fourth novel set in that era.
Ken Follett
What she needs,' Tom said aloud 'is a husband.' Agnes said crisply, 'Well, she can't have mine.
Ken Follett
I don't think there's any great mystery to writing female characters, so long as you talk to them. If you lived in a monastery and never met any women, maybe it would be difficult.
Ken Follett
It was the most romantic plane ever made.
Ken Follett
Movies have influenced all writers, not just thriller writers.
Ken Follett
I imagined it. I wrote it. But I guess I never thought I'd see it.
Ken Follett
