You're a big one,[...] a tall drink of water, but I got to tell you, you don't look too bright. I got a son, stupid as a man who bought his stupid at a two-for-one sale, and you remind me of him.

In many ways, it was much, much harder to get the first book contract. The hardest thing probably overall has been learning not to trust people, publicists and so forth, implicitly.

Nobody's American, said Wednesday. Not originally. That's my point.

If writing a novel is a year's exile to a foreign country, writing a short story is a weekend spent somewhere exotic. They're much more like vacations, more exciting and different, and you're off.

If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.

All around me darkness gathers, Fading is the sun that shone, We must speak of other matters, You can be me when I'm gone Flowers gathered in the morning, Afternoon they blossom on, Still are withered in the evening, You can be me when I'm gone.

I wanted to be an author as far back as I can remember, mixed with occasional bouts of wanting to be a werewolf when I grew up. But mostly, when I daydreamed, it was about being an author.

I was thinking one of the great things about fiction is we, as a race, only get to look out of our own eyes at the world. And fiction is a fantastic way of looking out through somebody else's eyes.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I remember making that vow, the one not to forget. Not to remember what happened, but to remember who I was and how I felt.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names.

Image
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.

It's easier to lie to yourself when you say things out loud.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.

Image
I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?

You know, it's weird being interviewed! Because the weird thing about being interviewed is you get asked these questions that you've never thought about, and you find out what you think as you answer.

Image
Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.

The sky had never seemed so sky the world had never seemed so world.

I hope you'll make mistakes. If you're making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something.

Biting's excellent. It's like kissing - only there is a winner.

Nearly' only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades.
