Harry Bosch is a amalgamation of many characters I met on the Los Angeles police scene. There's a lot of truth in my fiction.
More Quotes from Michael Connelly:
I wrote a book about a child killer once and part of the narrative is from his point of view. There wasis nothing wrong with that book. In fact, it's one of my most popular. But now that I am a father, I would not do that again.Michael Connelly
I would change very little because I have been very, very fortunate. A lot of things fell into place for me simply by happenstance. When that happens you don't really want to change anything, even if you could. Editorially my regrets are few and for the most part minor. I look back on my first published book and think I held on to it too long, babied it too long.
Michael Connelly
I think the only boundaries are individual and personal. A writer should be free to write about anything he or she wants to, including the twin towers. I have made small references to 9/11 in my past two books.
Michael Connelly
We want our government to protect us, to make sure something like 9/11 never happens again. We quickly moved to give law enforcement more power to do this. But that now begs the question, did we move to fast? Did we give too much power away? I don't have the answer.
Michael Connelly
It's a measure of how complicated the world has gotten since 9-11, when thousands were wiped out. Just because statistics tell us that violent crime is actually down, that doesn't mean that people aren't scared.
Michael Connelly
I think Harry and jazz go together for a lot of reasons. For the most part, he listens to artists who had to struggle to make their music, whether because of their personal demons and ills or those of society. They had to fight to make their music, and that is the bridge to Harry. In his own way, he has to fight to make his music.

I got involved in improv comedy. It settled me down when I was getting wild. I was sort of an evil teenager smashing up my cars and drinking and driving, let's just say, a lot.
