Garth Nix
I am not going to change who I am. I am human and I know how to love, and be kind, and be compassionate to those who are weaker than me. Just because I have power doesn't mean I have to use it!

Garth Nix
Often, I get the feeling that the story is really happening somewhere and all I'm doing is trying to work out the best way to tell it.
Garth Nix
Time plays tricks between here and home, said Mogget sepulchrally, frightening the life out of the telephone operator.
Garth Nix
Time and death sleep side by side.
Garth Nix
People often presume I'm from whatever country they're from. So Americans presume I'm American and the British presume I'm British. And they're surprised to discover I actually am Australian. And actually some Australians are surprised too.
Garth Nix
A Kiss, said Mogget sleepily. Actually, just a breath would do. But you have to start kissing someone sometime, I suppose. A breath? she asked. She didn't want to kiss just any wooden man. He looked nice enough, but he might not be like his looks. A kiss seemed too forward.
Garth Nix
Unhand my tail! squealed the Will.

Who or what are you? Besides insufferably rude?
Garth Nix
For all my longer works (i.e. the novels) I write chapter outlines so I can have the pleasure of departing from them later on.
Garth Nix
So I'll do that, and I'll do my best and if my best isn't good enough, at least I will have done everything I could, everything that is in me. I don't have to try to be someone else, someone I could never be.
Garth Nix
