I read 'Scarlett' recently, and that was a killer comic book. The 'Black Widow' was pretty rockin'. There is a big list of killer chicks that are just rockin'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I first started writing the books in the 1980s, all of the female detectives were flawed in some way because they were based on noir characters.
I've never really been a genre fan. I never grew up reading comic books or was a horror buff.
I would love to do a Black Widow movie. That's perfect, I would love to do that. That character is really interesting: she doesn't have any superpowers; she just has extraordinary skills, and the world that she comes from, being this ex-K.G.B. assassin, I find that really fascinating, yeah.
And I always had this idea for making a movie about a femme fatale, because I like these characters. They're a lot of fun, they're sexy, they're manipulative, they're dangerous.
I'm a sucker for the big, gruff, distant, emotionally closed-off hero who sloooowly warms up to the feisty, awesome, sweet heroine.
I like 'Mad Men,' and I think 'The Killing' is pretty great too. I like 'Brothers & Sisters.'
I don't read 'chick lit,' fantasy or science fiction but I'll give any book a chance if it's lying there and I've got half an hour to kill.
Most mainstream male fiction is littered with heroines, and female characters are basically so great, you want to fall in love with them.
So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can't read that.
Many of the less prolific killers' stories go unheard because they simply don't make good books.
