Lee Child
The most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today.
Lee Child
Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I'm carrying spare pants. Then I'd need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I've got a house and a car and a savings plan and I'm filling out all kinds of forms.
Lee Child
So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.
Lee Child
I have a kind of old-fashioned, artisan approach.
Lee Child
A handgun at two hundred feet is the same thing as crossing your fingers and making a wish.
Lee Child
I was in television drama, which is a first cousin to the movies, and I trust myself to make the right decisions.
Lee Child
My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever.
