Quotes by David Lagercrantz

I was so obsessed by Lisbeth Salander and all the characters, but of course if you're going to write a crime novel worthy of Stieg Larsson, you need a plot, don't you?

I want to have new challenges and write new crazy books because I think it makes me a better writer to be insecure and try new things.

There is no money in the world that would compensate me for writing a lousy book.

I want to be read, and I certainly want to sell, but I also see my father's eye from Heaven: 'Always write quality. It doesn't matter if you sell; if it's good, it's good - if you capture the complexity of life.'

You have to search for the best writer - I'm not saying I'm the one, but it's a bad idea to just find the person who is a copycat of Stieg Larsson.

I'm always interested in talented or odd people, and my whole life I've written about geniuses who society has treated badly and they strike back - or not.

All great characters, great icons, in literature are a bit of a riddle, and that's the reason we go back to them over and over.
