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
I love Italian food but that's too generic a term for what's available now: you have to narrow it down to Tuscan, Sicilian, and so on.
Lee Child
Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
Lee Child
Some old guy once said that the meaning of life is that it ends.
Lee Child
All of us write wish fulfillment.
Lee Child
I don't need validation, recognition or praise. What I need are facts and the facts are that one of my books gets sold, somewhere in the world, every second.
Lee Child
I don't know what the secret is when I am writing it - it really is a surprise to me.
