Each murder is one too many.

Very few of us playing a murderer will actually have killed someone.

But this is not to say that the society which inflicts capital punishment commits murder.

If somebody plans to carry out a series of murders... then this is obviously an evil and pre-meditated attack and in that case, there could be a deterrent effect.

One of the hardest things to believe is that anyone will abandon the effort to escape a charge of murder. It is extremely important to suspend disbelief on that. If you don't, the story is spoiled.

Every murder turns on a bright hot light, and a lot of people... have to walk out of the shadows.

Murder is about power and the more powerful women get the more it will change the good that they do and the bad that they do.

I don't believe in murder.

Murder is born of love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder.

What the detective story is about is not murder but the restoration of order.
