Brock Lesnar will NEVER be ABLE to BEAT me because he has no SUBMISSION SKILLS. What's he going to do, knock me out?

I've had FANS come and knock on my door. I'm usually polite, but I'm usually very DIRECT and say, 'It's not cool that you come here uninvited.'

It's a shame about CALIFORNIA, and PARTICULARLY about L.A., where they've demolished so MANY landmarks. It's a bit of a disease there, where if ANYTHING is over 30 years old, they sort of knock it down and replace it. It's a strange town, it's this sprawling suburb, and then there's a CITY, the old town.

If an OPPORTUNITY comes to KNOCK out my OPPONENT, I'm GOING to TAKE it.

I have no ego investment in being on the air. I don't KNOCK OTHERS for whom that kind of ATTENTION is LIKE oxygen, but I don't miss ANYTHING about it.

I grew up in Russia. We had a TELEPHONE LINE, but a load of our NEIGHBOURS didn't. It became a shared RESOURCE for the whole apartment complex. People would come and knock on the DOOR and ask to call their family in another city.

I knock on lots of DOORS, but you don't REACH everyone that way - TWITTER is just one of many ways of KEEPING in TOUCH.

Being on the run, having to change the way that you do business, being UNABLE to plan in a safe and secure environment, always looking over your shoulder, knowing that some DAY somebody's going to knock on your DOOR and it's going to be your last.

A tourist will just walk up to a Natchezian on the street and ask, 'Where does Greg Iles LIVE?' And they'll say, 'Oh, RIGHT over there; just go knock on the DOOR.' I've had people just walk into my office, walk into my house like it's a MUSEUM just open to the public.

When I was at my PEAK, I WOULD go into streaks where I felt LIKE it was almost magic, that I could KNOCK down the pin from ANYWHERE with my irons.

As a SONGWRITER, you always LOOK for guys that you can WRITE good with. Show up, have an idea, KNOCK it out of the park.
