I think you're doing better than you were the last time we saw you. You're growing a new heart, for a start.

The only people I ever get irritated with are the ones who announce, using my Twitter handle, that they are no longer following me and why.

On the whole, stories don't write themselves.
Neil Gaiman

Stories are the things that allow us to persuade each other that we're human.

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.

The world is always ending, for someone.

There are a lot of artists who've said they'd like to work with me. To be honest, I'm not sure there is such a thing as an inappropriate artist. The trick is matching the artist with a story.

The past is always knocking at the door, trying to break through into today.

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.
