You cant have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front – or a happy without a sad. – Harlan Coben
No characters in Stay Close, including the leads, are black and white. I want them to be grey. I think that makes for a much more interesting reading experience, something that will stay with you a little bit longer. – Harlan Coben
I always say three things make a writer: inspiration, obviously perspiration, doing the work. But the third is desperation. Im not really fit for anything else, or to have a real job. That fear drives me. The pressure has always been self inflicted. – Harlan Coben
I can write pretty much anywhere if you give me time and some quiet. The home is not usually the best place because I have four children. Its usually pandemonium around here! – Harlan Coben
