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
It's a kind of zen question: if you write a book and no one reads it, is it really a book?
Lee Child
The most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today.
Lee Child
I have the thing worked out - the trick or the surprise or the pivotal fact. Then I just start somewhere and let the story work itself out.
