More quotes by Benjamin Percy
I think everyone can relate to the werewolf myth - because we've all, as a result of alcohol, drugs, exhaustion, rage, gone off the leash and come to regret it later. I appeal to this psychologically - the unleashed id - but with a biological cause I'm hopefully making possible supernatural circumstances.
Benjamin Percy
I grew up with guns. For my 16th birthday, in fact, I received a .357 instead of a car. But there was nothing playful about them they were tools.
Benjamin Percy
You can't teach talent, but you can teach people how to read strenuously and mimic the moves of rock-star writers so that they eventually accumulate a toolbox of skills.
Benjamin Percy
I want to build as many worlds as possible - each a version of ours with a crack running through it - and not be anchored to any of them.
Benjamin Percy

Benjamin Percy

Benjamin Percy
