More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Writing, and especially writing a novel, where you get to sit in a room by yourself with either a pen and a paper or a computer for a couple of years, is a very solitary occupation. You can read sales figures - a hundred thousand books sold, half a million books sold - but they are just numbers.
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
Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
Neil Gaiman
Does it make you feel big to make a little boy cry?
Neil Gaiman
In Hollywood the man who cleans your pool is an actor. The man who sells you your copy of Variety is an actor. I don't think there's a real person left in the place.
Neil Gaiman
With American Gods I was trying very, very consciously - there was a level at which it was a little like trying to write a novel in French - you know, this novel is to be written in American.
Neil Gaiman
People pursue things. As soon as they have them they run away from them.
Neil Gaiman
It's certainly not too late to change to the winning side. But you know, you also have the freedom to stay just where you are. That's what it means to be an American. That's the miracle of America. Freedom to believe means the freedom to believe the wrong thing, after all. Just as freedom of speech gives you the right to stay silent.
Neil Gaiman
Style is made up of whatever an author can't avoid doing.
Neil Gaiman
The ties of blood, said Spider, are stronger than water. Water's not strong, objected Fat Charlie.
Neil Gaiman
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.
Neil Gaiman
You can't make me love you.
Neil Gaiman
I will be a wise and tolerant monarch, dispencing justice fairly, and only setting nightmares to rip out the winds of the evil and the wicked. Or just anybody that I don't like.
Neil Gaiman
Songs remain. They last...A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of songs.
Neil Gaiman
Perhaps this is the ultimate freedom, eh, Dreamlord? The freedom to leave.
Neil Gaiman
He tried to listen to the conversations going on at the table and he found that he could no longer concentrate on what anyone was saying and which was worse that he was not interested in any of what he was able to hear.
Neil Gaiman
If he didn't care about you, you couldn't upset him.
Neil Gaiman
Everybody who has ever read Sandman knows exactly what the Sandman looks like, which is more than anybody who has ever read The Catcher in the Rye can say about Holden Caufield.
Neil Gaiman
Actually I didn't shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die, but he could tell I was extremely cross.
Neil Gaiman
You know what my mum once said?’ said Rosie… ‘She said that if a just-married couple put a coin in a jar every time they make love in their first year, and take a coin out for every time that they make love in the years that follow, the jar will never be emptied.’ And this means…?’ Well’, she said. ‘It’s interesting, isn’t it?
