A good novel is a good novel, pointe finale. And I think what I'm writing is exactly that.

Every decade of my life I attempted to write a novel. But I had nothing to say. I was far too self-absorbed, and now I realize I was writing for others, so that they'd applaud me, see my genius, tell me how wonderful I am, or be jealous of my success.

I think that 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.

It's the technique, I think, of writing a novel that is difficult for a nonfiction writer.

We're still a good team. I just think they're exceptionally good.

I believe that writing is derivative. I think good writing comes from good reading.
