It's hard for children's authors to be accepted when they try to write adult books. J.K. Rowling is the exception because people are so eager to read anything by her, but it took Judy Blume three or four tries before she had a success.
R. L. Stine
I always just wanted to be funny. I never really planned to be scary.
R. L. Stine

R. L. Stine
At least I can write.
R. L. Stine
People say, 'What advice do you have for people who want to be writers?' I say, they don't really need advice, they know they want to be writers, and they're gonna do it. Those people who know that they really want to do this and are cut out for it, they know it.
R. L. Stine
Everything that has happened to me has been amazing and surprising.
R. L. Stine
I do like a lot of things that a lot of adults would scoff at. 'SpongeBob SquarePants,' 'Looney Tunes.'
R. L. Stine
I've had a very sheltered life. What can happen to you if you stay home writing all day?
R. L. Stine
You have no control [over natural disaster]. That's what's scary about it. You're helpless. That feeling of helplessness is really scary.
R. L. Stine
