I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.

You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.

What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.

Life is short And pleasures few And holed the ship And drowned the crew But o! But o! How very blue the sea is.

For a writer, and particularly a writer of my genre, which is the fantastical, I think that it's to my advantage to feel remote from and disconnected from the world of deal making.

By and large I think art is made by people who have discipline married to talent in sufficiently large amounts to work even if they don't feel like it. Anybody can get maudlin and decide to write poetry at 11 at night the question is, can you do it at 8:30 on a Monday morning..?

Here is a list of terrible things, The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings The rabid bite of the dogs of war, The voice of one who went before, But most of all the mirror's gaze, Which counts us out our numbered days.

Zombies are the liberal nightmare. Here you have the masses, whom you would love to love, appearing at your front door with their faces falling off and you're trying to be as humane as you possibly can, but they are, after all, eating the cat. And the fear of mass activity, of mindlessness on a national scale, underlies my fear of zombies.

Well, it was most likely too late there would not be time for me to flagellate myself for every dishonorable deed in that list, nor any chance to make good the harms I’d done. Minor harms, to be sure, in the scheme of things but large enough to regret.

Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.

No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.

Everything is in flux: everything changes the body changes, the soul changes. We are capable of extraordinary self-transmutat ion and internal self-transforma tion.

I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.

Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.
