«Depending on what I'm working on, I come to the writing desk with entirely different mindsets. When I change form one to the other, it's as if another writer is on the scene.»
«There is only one senior out of their seven varsity players, so I know I'll have to compete for a job. It's going to be tough to break in, but it will also be fun. I know I can hit with everyone on the team. It's just a question of where the ball lands.»
«It's a matter of style. The Evan Hunter style and the Ed McBain style are very, very different.»
