I'm surprised and disappointed in American culture.

I worked at NBC and MTV for two years, and it was very interesting to see the comparisons of audiences and the way that I would have to present a story to the two different places.

If the breaking news story had to do with hard news, politics specifically, I had a lot to do with it. If it had to do with music, Kurt Loder was more involved.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

The flaw of an amateur is to assume what's in our head is what's on the page.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'
