I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?

  • -- Ed McBain 麦可班恩

我从不从头条新闻中汲取灵感。我觉得如果一个故事足够好,一个真实的故事,那么它就已经被媒体报道过了,如果它不够好,我为什么还要为它费心呢?
