More quotes by Nelson DeMille
Everyone looked pensive, which is good cover-up for clueless.
Nelson DeMille
I generally unwind by having dinner with close friends.
Nelson DeMille
I thought to myself, what is everyone's worst fear? Nuclear terrorism in America.
Nelson DeMille
Writing doesn't leave much time for hobbies, unless you consider that I began writing as a hobby and have made the hobby into a profession.
Nelson DeMille
Even the most radical Islamic terrorist would not want to see the revered holy city of Medina go up. It would be like losing the Vatican in Rome.
Nelson DeMille
Most of my books are about contemporary subjects, and the world changes so fast that I'm lucky when events haven't overtaken the book I'm writing at the moment.
Nelson DeMille
Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.
Nelson DeMille
I've always been fascinated by the Gold Coast. The homes themselves are spectacular, unlike anything you'll see other than in Newport, Bar Harbor or Palm Beach. It's a very special area that, because of local demographics, is not going to survive much longer.
Nelson DeMille
You have to go out of your way as a suspense novelist to find situations where the protagonists are somewhat helpless and in real danger.
Nelson DeMille
I try to end every chapter with an air of suspense. I try to leave the reader wanting to turn the page.
Nelson DeMille
G.I. humor is similar to cop humor.
Nelson DeMille
I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.
Nelson DeMille
If everyone howled at every injustice, every act of barbarism, every act of unkindness, then we would be taking the first step towards a real humanity.
Nelson DeMille
I used the pen name because I knew I wanted to write better novels under my own name someday.
Nelson DeMille
A lot of our perception of history is influenced by inaccurate movies.
Nelson DeMille
I think it's more difficult now to write a spy thriller with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Many authors have tried, but few have succeeded in capturing the interest of readers.
Nelson DeMille
We're all pilgrims on the same journey but some pilgrims have better road maps.
Nelson DeMille
I don't like mysteries, which is why I want to solve them. It bothers me that there are things I don't know.
Nelson DeMille
There are Mafia families that have bought magnificent houses on the North Shore, although not yet the great estates because they don't want that kind of high profile.
Nelson DeMille
Absolutely breathtaking, nail-biting, and edge-of-your-seat. Michael Koryta is a master at maintaining suspense and a hell of a good writer. THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD is one of the best chase-and-escape novels you’ll read this year-or any other year. The pace never lets up.
