- To portray violence in a non-violent way, to me, is doing a disservice to people, because that's when you start getting people responding to violence. The whole thing on TV about not showing violence, cleaning it up, is more harmful, I think, than making somebody ill with it.
- You'll never find Asch doing anything unlikely. He will not usually find stuff through coincidence. He's a plodder. That's what private detection is, going through papers. All of Asch's cases come out of paper. He works with paper more than he does people, whereas in Ross Macdonald and with most of those guys, they do it with information people tell them. But there aren't too many people out there who are going to spill their guts to an investigator, unless the guy has a handle on what's going on.
