Author of quotes: David Suchet

I like it because there is something in this sometimes strange and quirky. It is in the heart of the disclosure of the murder - but he may suddenly stop to comb my mustache... I always carry a list of 93 items that tell about him. For example, how many lumps of sugar he puts in his tea, and how many in coffee. Because, you know, people always will notice if you make a mistake. And they write about my accuracy. One of the most endearing of his descriptions - "the lights in the eyes," and I've had some lovely fan mail the women who love him purely for that. I wanted him to have charm.
