Baddies always do get the best lines, that's the honest truth.

Writers write these male stereotypes, and it makes it ten times more interesting if a woman says the lines.

The bad boys get all the best lines.

The line between angry young woman and grumpy old lady is very fine.

There is nothing cooler than having lines like, 'Batman, the fate of the world is upon us.' Who gets to say that? And who gets to say that in a deep, earnest, amazingly sexy way?

It's much nicer to be known as Mr. Nice Guy than Mr. Nasty Guy. But you've got to have lines - and when you hit the line, that's the end of the story, nice guy or not.

Even the best novels have their share of stinker lines.

I think it's very important to write a demythologized woman character. My characters are flawed. They are no better than they should be.

The bad guys probably get the better lines, don't they? And they wear less spandex. That would be quite good.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.
