Michael Connelly
Everybody counts or nobody counts
Michael Connelly

Michael Connelly
Any writer would rather dig into character than dig into fancy plots.
Michael Connelly
In a daydream sort of way, I think it would be pretty cool to direct a movie. But I have been on movie and TV sets and know it is hard work. I like directing it in my mind. It is easier.
Michael Connelly
I never miss L.A. because I'm there enough.
Michael Connelly
What is jealousy but a reflection of your own failures?
Michael Connelly
I'm a pretty harsh critic when it comes to my own stuff or things that come from my work.
Michael Connelly
I'm not 'Mr. No-By-The-Book.' I just want to make sure the character is by the book.
Michael Connelly
Momentum was momentum, whether you found it in music or on the street or in the beat of your own heart.
Michael Connelly
