For some men, life seems to be one long attempt to escape childhood and all the fears of childhood. That's what many of us are doing.

I like having a plot; I like characters with a reason to get up in the morning.

As far as I am concerned, I write novels, and other people can do the labelling.

The real difference between literature and pulp is the kind of emotional responses they elicit. Dan Brown can't pierce your heart. Patricia Cornwell can't make you read a sentence twice and then look sightlessly out of the window.

There's a high point in your career, and then people get bored; they want something else to come along.

I suppose most crime writing is urban. There's not a lot... certainly not in Australia, people don't often set books in the countryside.

In writing, I'm totally anti-plans of any kind. All my attempts to plan and plot novels have come to grief, and in expensive ways.

I think if you live in a country, basically you share the dominant values of a country although you may disagree on issues all the time.

No book of mine is complete without a dog.
