I don't know. I had to be something, didn't I?
Neil Gaiman
There's nothing for getting you good fast like having to be good fast, if that makes any sense.
Neil Gaiman
THE MAGIC AND THE DANGER OF FICTION IS THIS: it allows us to see through other eyes. It takes us to places we have never been, allows us to care about, worry about, laugh with, and cry for people who do not, outside of the story, exist. There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Neil Gaiman
Whenever it rains you will think of her.
Neil Gaiman
We build a shell around it, like an oyster dealing with a painful particle of grit, coating it with smooth pearl layers in order to cope. This is how we walk and talk and function , day in, day out. Immune to others’ pain and loss.
Neil Gaiman
You can't run away from home without destroying somebody's world.
Neil Gaiman
None of us exist in a world that is the same world that any of the rest of us live in. The world that's important is the world behind each of our eyes, which is something that none of the rest of us can access.
Neil Gaiman
The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.
Neil Gaiman
Never use five words if you can get away with one, eh? I've known dead men talk more than you do.
Neil Gaiman
Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.
Neil Gaiman
Hunchbacks danced at my wedding for luck. It's a thing you don't see nowadays.
Neil Gaiman
You have a very open relationship with your fans. Yes. We have an open relationship. Obviously they can see other authors if they want, and I can see other readers.
Neil Gaiman
25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying 'Where is the flaming sword that was given unto thee?' 26 And the Angel said, 'I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.' 27 And the Lord did not ask him again.
Neil Gaiman
Every now and then I'll do little things, a short story or something, that doesn't have any fantastical elements, but mostly I like the power of playing God and I like to imagine things.
Neil Gaiman
Librarians are the coolest people out there doing the hardest job out there on the frontlines. And every time I get to encounter or work with librarians, I'm always impressed by their sheer awesomeness.
Neil Gaiman
There's definitely a feeling with a short story that it's pure story telling. You're not really worried about theme. You're not going to stay with the characters long enough to live your life with them. And you have different kinds of relationships with them.
Neil Gaiman
I've learned over the years that everything is more or less the same amount of work, so you may as well set your sights high and try and do something really cool.
Neil Gaiman
It's always too late for sorries, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Neil Gaiman
I think radio plays are my favourite medium, as they make the listener work and create and contribute in a way that TV and film can never do, and they have an immediacy that written prose often lacks.
Neil Gaiman
