Lee Child Quotes

I was fired from my television job, simple as that. Well, downsized, really, a classic 1990s situation Picture Quote #1

I had a brief theater background and loved the backstage world there’s more backstage work in television, so I saw a job advertised and applied, and got it. That was back in 1977, when getting jobs was easy Picture Quote #1

I have to warn you. I promised my mother, a long time ago. She said I had to give folks a chance to walk away Picture Quote #1

I'm not really into gourmet food; I'm the kind of guy who just stops by a place that looks good rather than heading for the restaurant of the moment Picture Quote #1

I was in television drama, which is a first cousin to the movies, and I trust myself to make the right decisions Picture Quote #1

You know, women are as promiscuous as men and yet, of course, people are inhibited from having an affair or a relationship because the real world consequences are a drag Picture Quote #1

L. A. Has a fantastic car scene and because the climate is so gentle, cars can last forever Picture Quote #1

I'm opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it's plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity Picture Quote #1

I love Italian food but that's too generic a term for what's available now: you have to narrow it down to Tuscan, Sicilian, and so on Picture Quote #1

I like food, like any other guy, but it is not the main thing in my life. I can do without it Picture Quote #1

You see something scary, you should stand up and step toward it, not away from it. Instinctively, reflexively, in a raging fury Picture Quote #1

Evaluate. Long experience had taught me to evaluate and assess. When the unexpected gets dumped on you, don’t waste time. Don’t figure out how or why it happened. Don’t recriminate. Don’t figure out whose fault it is. Don’t work out how to avoid the same mistake next time. All of that you do later. If you survive Picture Quote #1

He looked at the pain and he set himself apart from it. He saw it, examined it, identified it, corralled it. He isolated it. He challenged it. You against me? Dream on, pal. He built borders for it. Then walls. He built walls and forced the pain behind them and then he moved the walls inward, compressing the pain, crushing it, boxing it in, limiting it, beating it Picture Quote #1

A person less fortunate than yourself deserves the best you can give. Because of duty, and honor, and service. You understand those words? You should do your job right, and you should do it well, simply because you can, without looking for notice or reward Picture Quote #1

It’s always tense when you move a character from a book to the screen. Always tense Picture Quote #1

I don’t need validation, recognition or praise. What I need are facts and the facts are that one of my books gets sold, somewhere in the world, every second Picture Quote #1

I do a little fact checking now and then. Other than that its impact is simply that email has revolutionized communication for me, and my website has built up a community of readers, which is a lot of fun Picture Quote #1

People who wear glasses, without them they always look unfocused, vulnerable. Out in the open. A layer removed Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be in the world of entertainment. I just love the idea of an audience being happy with what I am doing. Writing is showbusiness for shy people. That’s how I see it Picture Quote #1

The cop climbed out of his car exactly four minutes before he got shot. He moved like he knew his fate in advance Picture Quote #1

A handgun at two hundred feet is the same thing as crossing your fingers and making a wish Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to put the world to rights... I just don’t like people who put the world to wrongs Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about the little guy. I just hate the big guy. I hate big smug people who think they can get away with things Picture Quote #1

I said nothing. I’m good at saying nothing. I don’t like talking. I could go the rest of my life without saying another word, if I had to Picture Quote #1

Lone women shouldn’t stop in the middle of nowhere for giant unkempt strangers with duct tape on their faces Picture Quote #1

Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I’m carrying spare pants. Then I’d need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I’ve got a house and a car and a savings plan and I’m filling out all kinds of forms Picture Quote #1

No, I’m a man with a rule. People leave me alone, I leave them alone. If they don’t, I don’t Picture Quote #1
