I love reading. I’m very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.
I read Freud because I find him an excellent writer… a writer of police thrillers that can be followed with great passion.
I love thrillers, and I always have.
The type of movies that give me the heebie jeebies are thrillers, because anything that’s playing with your thoughts and mind, that’s scary. But one thing that they never do in horror movies that I always do is I pray. You never see them pray in horror movies.
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.
I think I’ll stick with psychological thrillers.
Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn’t such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre. The most difficult part, I think, was being accepted as a thriller writer. Once you’ve written romance, unfortunately, critics will never stop calling you a ‘former romance author.’
Thrillers excite me as an actor and I have always wanted to be a part of one.
Monsters don’t scare me at all; I think creepy is scarier than gore. I tend to read more thrillers and mysteries than horror, though. I like a good whodunnit. If I want scary, I tend to reach for a movie. I think it’s a great medium for horror.
The best movies now are called ‘thrillers.’ Because if you use the word ‘horror,’ people’s associations are straight-to-video crap.
The older I get, the more I love psychological thrillers.
If you write thrillers or mysteries or horror fiction or quote-unquote speculative fiction, men might read you, and the ‘Times’ might notice you.
I don’t read thrillers, romance or mystery, and I don’t read self-help books because I don’t believe in shortcuts and loopholes.
In 1996, when my first novel, ‘Masquerade,’ was published, I knew international thrillers – or spy novels, if you prefer – had been the domain of male authors for decades.
I came to Hollywood and felt myself an outsider, and I was sent all these action thrillers and superhero scripts.
I read a lot fewer thrillers than I think people assume I do.
I love adult thrillers and murder mysteries and everything like that.
It’s always been the genres that fascinated me. I think great action movies and great thrillers are transformative.
A lot of locked-room mysteries take time for you to pay attention and see the setup. They aren’t thrillers, and they don’t move along. The modern mystery story is really faster-paced, and I think modern readers tend to prefer seeing something happening on every other page.
My intent is not to inflame Muslims but to entertain readers of great thrillers. At the end of the day, I want people to see a good protagonist struggle against serious odds and do so with courage and honor and integrity.
When I made ‘Chocolate,’ no one had made suspense thrillers for a long time.
I’d read a lot of thrillers about politicians and presidents, but never one where you flip the stereotypes and make good people bad and bad people good.
I am partial to thrillers but if somebody gives me a script like ‘King’s Speech’ to do, I would love to do it too.
Pete Moffat writes crime conspiracy thrillers so beautifully. He goes places other people wouldn’t; he is fearless.
In India, we don’t read thrillers; we read authors.
If you go to my Netflix, the sections that they recommend are ‘Thrillers with a Strong Female Lead,’ ‘Comedies With a Strong Female Lead.’
Whether I’ll get the chance to write fiction, I don’t know. I could do political conspiracy thrillers, couldn’t I? With an investigative journalist as the heroine.
After Bound, we were offered a lot of lesbian thrillers.
I like thrillers a lot. There’s a lot of discipline connected to them. You can’t be as freewheeling as you are with character pieces.
It’s interesting how thrillers reflect the times we live in.
I’m really into kind of a ‘Sixth Sense’ type of movie – mysteries, thrillers a little bit.
I have done all kinds of roles – comedy, action, romance, and thrillers. Just name the genre, and I’ve done it.
Among the best of Hitchcock’s own psychological thrillers is ‘Spellbound,’ whose story unusually wrapped the subject of psychoanalysis around a murder mystery.
I think what you call ‘metropolitan America’ – as in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles – I think there’s more awareness of the atypical, while in more traditional Britain, there’s the kitchen-sink dramas and thrillers. It’s more formulaic.
My music is rather abstract and maybe even strange-sounding for some people, so maybe that’s why it’s been used in so many horror movies and thrillers.
I love cop shows and crime books and thrillers, and before I die I’m gonna play a cop.
I like a lot of documentaries, I like political movies and political thrillers. But I also like a good action movie. I like a pretty wide range.
I read a lot of thrillers because they’re easy reading and I’m not a great flier. They take my head out of it. I like the fast pace and that you can’t put them down.
