"These kids today, they want to be men, they want to be foxhole guys, but theyâ€™re not being allowed to do that. Imagine if these computer geeks who are running baseball now were allowed to run a war? Theyâ€™d be telling our soldiers: â€˜Thatâ€™s enough. Youâ€™ve fired too many bullets from your rifle this week!â€™"

“Quite often, I'll be sent a script for a movie. And I find that I like it, so I say I'll do it. But then they rewrite it for me. They make it quirky. Odd. I find that rather annoying. I call it Walkenising.”
“I am comfortable calling myself a writer of suspense, or a writer of thrillers; both terms are sort of interchangeable to me. I think that came from a sense of being at conflict with my true nature throughout my youth, and being afraid of discovery, and feeling as if I didn't belong.”
