More quotes by John Darnielle

John Darnielle
It usually happens that I have multiple different projects going on at once, and one can be referencing the other.

A novel is a performance you have to plan.
John Darnielle
It makes me envious of anybody who can say truly that they don't care what anybody thinks of what they do, because I care a lot about the people who like my stuff.
John Darnielle
I start writing, pull whatever images happen to occur to me and make up a story, instead of starting with details that are real and I know of and going from there.
