Don't Worry About What Your Mother Thinks

I Got Halfway Through 'the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.' I Don't Get It At All. What's The Big Thrill? It's Boring.

To Me, Writing Is The Most Fun. It's Not Always Fun, But Finally When You Make It Come Out The Way You Want, It's Then You Can Say, 'it's Fun, Boy.'

I've Quit Writing Screenplay [adaptations]. It's Too Much Work. I Don't Look At Writing A Novel As Work, Because I Only Have To Please Myself. I Have A Good Time Sitting Here By Myself, Thinking Up Situations And Characters, Getting Them To Talk - It's So Satisfying. But Screenwriting's Different. You Might Think You're Writing For Yourself, But There Are Too Many Other People To Please.

There Are 500 Million People On Facebook, But What Are They Saying To Each Other? Not Much.

I'm Very Much Aware In The Writing Of Dialogue, Or Even In The Narrative Too, Of A Rhythm. There Has To Be A Rhythm With It … Interviewers Have Said, You Like Jazz, Don’t You? Because We Can Hear It In Your Writing. And I Thought That Was A Compliment.
