I Get Letters. I Get

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.

I Used To Be Able To Write Five Pages A Day, Every Day, No Problem. Now A Good Day Is Five Or Four Pages, And That's From 9:30 A.m. Until 6 P.m.

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 Don't Get In A Position To Be Frightened. I Don't Do Anything Dangerous, And I Always Pay My Bills.

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.
