I Haven't Laughed So Much

It's Awfully Easy To Be In Love In Jail

I Found I Was Repeating Myself. It Is The Beginning Of The End When You Discover You Have Style.

What I Try To Do Is Write A Story About A Detective Rather Than A Detective Story. Keeping The Reader Fooled Until The Last, Possible Moment Is A Good Trick And I Usually Try To Play It, But I Can't Attach More Than Secondary Importance To It. The Puzzle Isn't So Interesting To Me As The Behavior Of The Detective Attacking It.

If You Have A Story That Seems Worth Telling, And You Think You Can Tell It Worthily, Then The Thing For You To Do Is To Tell It, Regardless Of Whether It Has To Do With Sex, Sailors Or Mounted Policemen.

Listen, Darling, Tomorrow I'll Buy You A Whole Lot Of Detective Stories, But Don't Worry Your Pretty Little Head Over Mysteries Tonight.
