Crime fiction is the perfect vehicle for exploring the human condition.
You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being — not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money — but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Every material has a memory, and every action leaves a trace.
I used to walk down the street like I was a star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.
