I try to keep all my novels in print. Sometimes publishers don't agree with me as to their worth.

The things that keep nagging at you are the ones worth exploring.

I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones.

I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?

It's a matter of style. The Evan Hunter style and the Ed McBain style are very, very different.
