I Do Try To Live Every Day

Success Is Not Like A Cake That Needs To Be Divided. It's More Like A Heap Of Stones - A Cairn. If Someone Is Successful, They Add A Stone To The Cairn. It Gets Very High And Can Be Seen From All Over The World. That's How I See It.

I Never Wanted To Write. I Just Wrote Letters Home From A Kibbutz In Israel To Reassure My Parents That I Was Still Alive And Well Fed And Having A Great Time. They Thought These Letters Were Brilliant And Sent Them To A Newspaper. So I Became A Writer By Accident.

You Say To Yourself: 'what Could People, In All These Countries, Find In My Books?' And Yet I Think We're All The Same, Anywhere. Everybody Is A Hero Or A Dramatic Person In Their Own Story If You Just Know Where To Look.

I Believed That Old People Never Laughed. I Thought They Sighed A Lot And Groaned. They Walked With Sticks, And They Didn't Like Children On Bicycles Or Roller Skates Or With Big Dogs.

I Love Thriller Writers. My Favourites Are Harlan Coban, Lee Child, Ian Rankin, Kathy Reichs And Ed Mcbain.
