David Lagercrantz

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

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

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?

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.

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

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