It's hard to write a good plot, it's very hard.

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

I've been a spy for almost all of my adult life - I don't like being in the spotlight.

I love the spy genre.

Writing about magic is harder than writing about spies because you're dealing with something that doesn't really exist.

I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.

Since real spies are so good, you never really know what actual spying is. But I do think spying is a lot more dangerous than we are led to believe.

I get fed up with plots that are driven by someone constantly getting information on a computer.
