When Stalking One’s Prey, It Is Best

I'm Still Old-fashioned. I Love Dusty Old Books And Libraries.

I Do Much Of My Creative Thinking While Golfing. If People Know You're Working At Home They Think Nothing Of Walking In For A Cup Of Coffee, But Wouldn't Dream Of Interrupting On The Golf Course.

I Would Advise Anyone Who Aspires To A Writing Career That Before Developing His Talent He Would Be Wise To Develop A Thick Hide.

I've Been Writing As Long As I've Been Able To Form Words. I Never Wrote With An Idea Of Publishing Anything Until I Began Working On '[to Kill A] Mockingbird'. I Think That What Went Before May Have Been A Rather Subconscious Form Of Learning How To Write, Of Training Myself.

It's Not Necessary To Tell All You Know. It's Not Ladylike--in The Second Place, Folks Don't Like To Have Somebody Around Knowin' More Than They Do.
