The stories from World War I are worse than anything I have ever read.

Sometimes it's hard to start, but once it gets going, once you reach the tipping point - usually between chapter seven and nine - then it's like hanging onto a large snowball as it hurtles downhill.

From Kerry Greenwood

I fell in love with words in all languages, and I read everything I could find, particularly myths and legends and histories and archeology and any novels.

From Kerry Greenwood

Unanswered questions make my head itch.

From Kerry Greenwood

I'm a duty solicitor, so I can't fix someone's life; all I can do is fix the problem I've got in front of my eyes.

From Kerry Greenwood

I have to write three books a year to make a reasonable living out of writing - unless, of course, she gets a major American film deal. Phryne has been optioned since the very first book, but to make a historical TV movie, it costs $30,000 a day extra for the historical detail to be correct, so most people aren't doing it.

From Kerry Greenwood

I've always been in love with Melbourne. When I was 12, I was taken into the city by my grandmother to go to the ballet for the first time.

From Kerry Greenwood

I decided that if I want to write about a female hero in the 1920s, I'm going to have to give her all the advantages I can because she has serious disadvantages in being a woman. I wasn't going to have her cowed or overawed by class, so she had to be titled.

From Kerry Greenwood

I used to tell my three younger siblings stories because that was my household chore, and I told long stories in installments because it was easier and more fun than making up a new story every night. I loved it.

From Kerry Greenwood

I went to a basic school, which had children from all corners of the world, and met my best friend and had to learn Greek because she didn't speak English.
