I've never been a cop nor hope to be a cop, thanks.

I got a B.A. from Hunter College, worked as a school teacher, a lobster salesman, and a literary agent before being published.

It seemed to me... that the only valid people to deal with crime were cops, and I would like to make the lead character, rather than a single person, a squad of cops.

I can't say which of the writers inspired me the most, but it was probably Hemingway.

I enjoy what I do every minute of the day, even when the going gets tough. When I first began writing, I used to work at a desk in the bedroom, of a small development house. My three sons all under the age of 3 would come running in and out of the room every minute.

I wanted to be an artist. I was studying art. I wanted to be a great painter. When I went into the Navy, there wasn't much to draw at sea. So I began writing, and I began reading a lot.

I try to keep all my novels in print. Sometimes publishers don't agree with me as to their worth.

Evan Hunter doesn't know how to write mystery novels. Ed McBain does. Do I sound schizophrenic? Do I detect a bit of dual personality here?

Readers are what it's all about, aren't they? If not, why am I writing?

I would certainly never suggest that any lesbian should be ashamed of her sexual preference.

When I was a poor and struggling writer, I made a vow that if ever I got lucky enough to write full-time, I would never again write at night or on weekends, and I never do. I work from about 10 a.m. to 5 or 6 at night, and then I lock the door to my office and go home to my wife.

I have a book coming out in September, for example, where the plot concerns counterfeiting, and I had to do a lot of research on that. Or on any legal matters, for example, I have to do a lot of research online.

I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?

I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones.

Evan Hunter is not a pseudonym. It has been my legal name since 1952. It is the name I answer to, the name on my passport, the name I sign to my checks, the name my family and friends know me by. Ed McBain is the pseudonym.
