It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.

Political thriller? International thriller? Financial thriller? Whatever you call it, The Ascendant is smart, edgy, fast-paced storytelling at its best.

I have an agent in Hollywood and he's looking for material. If I get the offer and I feel I relate to that material, I will do it. I would love to do a horror film, a thriller, a tearjerker. . . I like diversity. I would just like to sustain my sense of humour!
I went see the horror thriller, Hannibal. I am a massive fan of Anthony Hopkins. He is superb in the film.
I am, after all, a thriller writer. I routinely delve into the darkest chambers of the human heart. I've written about murder, kidnapping, depravity, horror, violence, and disfigurement.
I love the horror genre and the thriller genre, so I've got no problem with playing a psycho.
I'd love to do a sci-fi movie, a western, or an espionage thriller. But I'm not going to limit myself. If a good script comes along, I'm not going to discount it because it doesn't fit into one of these genres.

Movies have influenced all writers, not just thriller writers.
I read nonfiction almost exclusively - both for research and also for pleasure. When I read fiction, it's almost always in the thriller genre, and it needs to rivet me in the opening few chapters.
I'm a fan of the European style, naturalistic thriller.
For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.
Three Days of the Condor is still an interesting film to watch not because it's political. It happens to be political. But that's not why the sales of the DVDs are as high as they are.
