As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.

Bod quite liked crows. He thought they were funny and he liked the way they helped to keep the graveyard tidy.

You are an analog girl, living in a digital world.

American Gods is about 200,000 words long, and I'm sure there are words that are simply in there 'cause I like them. I know I couldn't justify each and every one of them.

Recounting the strange is like telling one's dreams: one can communicate the events of a dream, but not the emotional content, the way that a dream can colour one's entire day.

There are some dogs which, when you meet them, remind you that, despite thousands of years of manmade evolution, every dog is still only two meals away from being a wolf.

If there's one thing that a study of history has taught us, it is that things can always get worse.

My stuff gets published in some countries as fiction and in some countries as fantasy. It's just where they think it will do best in the bookshops.

Nothing [the demon] could think up was half as bad as the stuff [people] thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into their design somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse.

I noticed a long time ago that the Universe rewards belief systems. It doesn't really matter what you believe - it'll be there and waiting for you if you go and look for it. Decide the universe is, say, run by secret enormous teddy bears, and I can guarantee you'll immediately start running across evidence that this is true.

Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel.

That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I've been inspired by dreams - I've even stolen scenes or images or characters from them.

When angels go bad they are worse than anyone else. Remember Lucifer used to be an angel.

Well meaning adults can easily destroy a child's love of reading - do not discourage children from reading because you feel they're reading the wrong thing. There is no such thing as the wrong thing to be reading and no bad fiction for kids.

Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives.
Neil Gaiman

Fiction takes us to places that we would never otherwise go, and puts us behind eyes that are not our own.

I personally have a great deal of respect for readers. I have a great deal of respect for the human race. I think most people can tell the difference between fiction and fact. I think that the action of writing about something does not condone it. The best thing I can ever hope to do is provide good questions, and I think I do that. I hope I do.

I was kidnapped by aliens, they came down from outer space with ray guns, but I fooled them by wearing a wig and laughing in a foreign accent, and I escaped.

Walk any path in Destiny's garden, and you will be forced to choose, not once but many times.

The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked...that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.
