It's not often a thriller keeps me wound up as well as 'Headhunters' did. I knew I was being manipulated and didn't care. It was a pleasure to see how well it was being done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ultimately, a great thriller is a roller coaster ride. I like to think that's a promise I have never failed to keep, and one that I'd say has served my books well.
Thrillers have become all about technology and using technology. That seemed, to me, not so interesting.
For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.
Thrillers are an enormous amount of fun for filmmakers.
Before I did any action movies, I did a couple of thrillers. That's hung around for me.
I really care more about the human drama than I do the thriller stuff.
When I first started writing 'Still Missing,' I didn't actually realize I was writing a thriller. I thought it was more women's fiction, but during the many years of rewrites, I kept taking out the boring parts, and then my agent informed me that I had written a thriller.
I loved that it was about human relationships and then it was a mystery without falling into the trap of a thriller per se, because it pulled you in through people rather than through events or effects.
I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while.
I love thrillers, and I always have.
