More quotes by Neil Gaiman
I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children's stories. They were better than that. They just were.
Neil Gaiman
Shadow had heard too many people telling each other not to repress their feelings, to let their emotions out, let the pain go. Shadow thought there was a lot to be said for bottling up emotions. If you did it long enough and deep enough, he suspected, pretty soon you wouldn't feel anything at all.
Neil Gaiman
It seems like every time I agree to work with a video game company they go out of business. I stopped because I was starting to feel guilty.
Neil Gaiman
I was a scholarship minor public school day boy at Ardingly College and later Whitgift School. Then, straight into work as a journalist - a wonderful thing for a writer.
Neil Gaiman
Stories are made up by people who make them up. If they work, they get retold. There's the magic of it.
Neil Gaiman
I didn't like people rewriting my dialogue. I didn't like the fact that we'd start a comic with the Joker, and by the time we inked it, he would have turned into the Scarecrow.
Neil Gaiman
Fiction takes us to places that we would never otherwise go, and puts us behind eyes that are not our own.
Neil Gaiman
One of the things I'm concerned about is that I really want to make sure the races of all the characters are kept. I don't like it when black characters become white in movies, or things like that.
Neil Gaiman
For a moment he thought she was about to hit him, which would have been bad, or even start crying, which would have been much, much worse.
Neil Gaiman
Her other mother smiled brightly and the hair on her head drifted like plants under the sea.
Neil Gaiman
When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. It's all right we whisper, I'm here, I love you. and we lie: I'll never leave you. For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so
Neil Gaiman
If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.
Neil Gaiman
I make art, sometimes I make true art, and sometimes it fills the empty places in my life. Some of them. Not all.
Neil Gaiman
I loved all books that I could read, and I never knew if I was ready for it until I tried to read it, so I tried to read everything.
Neil Gaiman
I'm one of those writers who tends to be really good at making outlines and sticking to them. I'm very good at doing that, but I don't like it. It sort of takes a lot of the fun out.
Neil Gaiman
My theory on genre is that while there are people out there who believe that genre tells people what to read, actually I believe that genre exists as a marketing tool to tell you what to avoid.
Neil Gaiman
Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.
Neil Gaiman
You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.
Neil Gaiman
You know what the really scary thing about bad dreams? It's that something's going on in your head, and you can't control it. I mean, It's like there's these bad worlds inside you. But it's just you... it's like you're betraying yourself.
Neil Gaiman
The magic of comics is that there are three people involved in any comic. There's whoever's writing it and whoever's drawing it. And then there's whoever's reading it because they are creating the movement. They are creating the illusion of time passing.
Neil Gaiman
