I make art, sometimes I make true art, and sometimes it fills the empty places in my life. Some of them. Not all.

This is the only country in the world, that worries about what it is. The rest of them know what they are. No one ever needs to go searching for the heart of Norway. Or looks for the soul of Mozambique. They know what they are.

The moonlight was enough. It would do.

Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.

Doctor Who has never pretended to be hard science fiction... At best Doctor Who is a fairytale, with fairytale logic about this wonderful man in this big blue box who at the beginning of every story lands somewhere where there is a problem...

For me, closing libraries is the equivalent of eating your seed corn to save a little money.

Love isn't quite desire... Love is probably a little bit in The Sandman's domain. Love is partly a dream, it's partly to do with desire, and sometimes it's partly to do with death, as well. It's also very often something to do with delirium.

With 'Stardust', I hope what I was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.

I knowed a man in Paphlagonia who'd swallow a live snake every morning, when he got up. He used to say, he was certain of one thing, that nothing worse would happen to him all day. 'Course they made him eat a bowlful of hairy centipedes before they hung him, so maybe that claim was a bit presumptive.

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.

The only thing that kept me going was stories. Stories are hope. They take you out of yourself for a bit, and when you get dropped back in, you're different- you're stronger, you've seen more, you've felt more. Stories are like spiritual currency.

Real life doesn't have to be convincing, but fiction does.

For me, I would rather read a good book, from a contented author. I don't really care what it takes to produce that.

I mean, maybe I am crazy. I mean, maybe. But if this is all there is, then I don't want to be sane.

He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring because yesterday has brought it.

Like some kind of particularly tenacious vampire the short story refuses to die, and seems at this point in time to be a wonderful length for our generation.

I don't know. I had to be something, didn't I?

Remember your name. Do not lose hope ---what you seek will be found.

The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.

It was a dream, and in dreams you have no choices: either there are no decisions to be made, or they were made for you long before ever the dream began.
