I have been addicted to crime since I was born. I was making up crime stories when I was a 4- or 5-year-old kid.
There is a thin line between the policeman and the criminal. The best cops are always crossed. The best cops are the ones who are able to think like criminals. But for a quirk of fate, they might have been criminals.
Crimes spring from fixed ideas.
I've always liked the minds of criminals, they seem similar to artists.
My approach to the story... is if you can get into a criminal's mind and understand how it works and understand how crime is committed, you can help prevent it from happening to someone else.
I love the idea of getting into the mind of the criminal.
