Neil Gaiman
Parameters are the things you bounce off to create art.
Neil Gaiman
Amy: This time can we... lose the bunk beds? The Doctor: No Bunk beds are cool, a bed with a ladder, you can't beat that!
Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
When you start off, you have to deal with the problems of failure. You need to be thickskinned, to learn that not every project will survive.
Neil Gaiman
It does not matter where you come from, if you walk toward the truth you will reach it, whatever path you take.
