It's good to have mysteries. It reminds us that there's more to the world than just making do and having a bit of fun.

In a mystery, the sleuth must be believably involved and emotionally invested in solving the crime.

I love mysteries on television - the more psychologically complex, the better.

You know the thing that interests me about 'Unsolved Mysteries?' It's because there are people out there, people who know something, who may have the one final clue.

I know nothing about mysteries. I don't take to them.

Forensics I've always found absolutely fascinating. Anything to do with clues. And checking things out and solving.

Mysteries include so many things: the noir novel, espionage novel, private eye novels, thrillers, police procedurals. But the pure detective story is where there's a detective and a criminal who's committed a murder and leaves clues for the detective and the careful reader to find.

What's the use of making mysteries? It only makes people want to nose 'em out.

Well, I think storytellers have always found murder a fascinating device.
