More quotes by 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
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.

A real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning.
R. L. Stine
I guess I'm way too kind and generous, and a saint - if you can believe that!

I've lived in New York for 40 years. I came right after college.
R. L. Stine
I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.
R. L. Stine
When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books.
R. L. Stine
I believe that kids as well as adults are entitled to books of no socially redeeming value.
R. L. Stine
When I was a kid my family was really poor and I remember one Halloween I wanted to dress up really scary and my parents came home with a duck costume. I wore that costume for years! I hated it.
R. L. Stine
I always just wanted to be funny. I never really planned to be scary.
R. L. Stine
After spending 22 years in Ohio, I love everything about New York.
R. L. Stine
I've never dreamed of a story idea. I have such boring dreams.
R. L. Stine
If you do enough planning before you start to write, there's no way you can have writer's block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline.
R. L. Stine
Everything that has happened to me has been amazing and surprising.
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
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
You guys are just jealous because i'm a natural athlete and you can't cross the street without falling on your face. -(Bird) Doug
R. L. Stine
At least I can write.
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
