All I've really ever done is write since I was 17, so I don't know anything about anything. For me to do a novel, I have to talk to people who know things. And what keeps me in suspense is that I am a crime aficionado.
They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.
And I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.
