Mickey Spillane

I read all the time... I read a lot of history books.

Hemingway hated me. I sold 200 million books, and he didn't. Of course most of mine sold for 25 cents, but still... you look at all this stuff with a grain of salt.

I'm a country boy. I hate New York. But that's where things happen, so I use it as a base for stories, I know enough about it. But I have to keep going back there.

I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.
