David Lagercrantz

There is no money in the world that would compensate me for writing a lousy book.

A conventional crime story is simple - it's just a corpse in the river or something, and a detective with an alcohol problem.

I was so obsessed by Lisbeth Salander and all the characters, but of course if you're going to write a crime novel worthy of Stieg Larsson, you need a plot, don't you?

In my mind, there are too many copycat web products out there that are doing the same thing.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
