My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the Mystery section, sometimes in the Humor department, and occasionally even in the Literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding. – Carl Hiaasen
I never laugh or smile when I am writing. When I come home for lunch after writing all morning, my wife says I look like I just came home from a funeral. This is not bragging. This is an illness. – Carl Hiaasen
My humour has always come from anger, but I have to make sure I dont just get angry and jump on a soapbox. – Carl Hiaasen
From my experience, politicians are much more uncomfortable being made fun of than they are being preached at and screeched at – you know, and the soapbox routine. Theyre much more uneasy knowing theyre a target of ridicule. – Carl Hiaasen
I saw Taxi Driver, and Taxi Driver kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying, You talkin to me? You talkin to me? Who the hell else are you talkin to? Thats the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting. – Michael Biehn
