James Ellroy Quotes:
Ocupation: Crime writer
Life: b. March 4, 1948
Birthday: March 4
I cleaned up. I quit drinking, I quit doing drugs, I quit stealing, I quit breaking into houses, I tried to quit being a bad human being. I developed a conscience later in life than many. I call it the lost-time-regained dynamic.
