“I realized I do tragedy better than comedy.” — Paula Hawkins Quote

“I realized I do tragedy better than comedy.”

“I am interested in the ordinary sort of threat. I know that people are interested in things like serial killers and what have you, but actually, those aren't the sort of crimes that really happen very much. The sort of crimes that happen tend to be more of a domestic nature and quite banal, but the psychology behind them is always fascinating.”

“The journalism, I was a financial journalist - it's very good training as a writer. You have to write for deadlines; you have a certain economy of phrasing. As a training ground as a writer, it's fantastic. I also think it teaches you to be observant, to listen to people, and gives you an ear of dialogue from doing interviews.”

“It's a tragedy, but with your support and your help we will wage this fight and we're going to win it.”

“I can't believe in humorless women. I think there's humor even in everyday tragedy.”

“I feel both happy and sad in my life... Life is neither comedy nor tragedy. And so I just wanted to work on things that felt like life.”
