I have a very serious censorship office inside my head; it censors things that I could tell you that you would never forget, and I don't want to be the person to stick that in your brain.

The brutalization of humans by other humans never fails to get to me in some angry-making way. It shot up in me like an explosion.

'The Levanter' features some of the strongest action scenes to be found in Ambler - who can, in some of his fiction, stay in one place for a whole novel.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

I decided to set out to prove that you could make a reasonable living building for the poor using recycled materials and only hiring unskilled labor.
