There is nothing better than a really cool mystery: you don't know what's going to happen, so you keep turning those pages or watching that series.

Conflict and character are the heart of good fiction, and good mystery has both of those in spades.

I don't think the problem is that people don't read enough mystery books, but that people don't read.

I like the unknown. I like mystery.

People love a good mystery; I understand that.

People who would never sneer at sci-fi and murder mysteries have no trouble damning the whole romance genre without reading one.

I'm a big Stephen King fan.

I'm not a fan of endless mystery in storytelling - I like to know where the mythology's going; I like to get there in an exciting, fast-paced way - enough that there's a really clear, aggressive direction to where it's going, to pay off mystery and reward the audiences loyalty.
