More From John le Carre
- "Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they’re casting, they’re dressing the scene, they’re working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they’re also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader."
- "By the age of 9 or 10, I knew that I had to cut my own cloth and make my own way."
- "A spy, like a writer, lives outside the mainstream population. He steals his experience through bribes and reconstructs it."
