The courage and the wisdom that propelled our fathers to move unrelentingly in their days must be nothing to us, but, a real reason for us to be more than courageous enough to do the undone distinctively in our days."

"Readers respond to every genre intensely, if it's a genre that appeals to them. Again, who can say why anyone enjoys horror and dark fantasy? If I can't answer the question for myself, I wouldn't dream of trying to answer it for others."

Dream

"If people would write exactly what I wanted to read I wouldn't feel so compelled to write myself."

People

"I feel that if you are blessed, or lucky enough, to be doing well, you should help others."

Help

Sex

"I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction, especially for horror, fantasy, science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't."

Science

"Some people just don't seem to understand the concept of fiction. It is fiction; it ain't true, folks."

"I like conventions. I like meeting and greeting. I'm perched on that edge where I'm getting more attention than I quite know what to do with, though."

Attention

"Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil."

Time

"Give a truly good person power, and they're still a good person. Give a bad person power, and they're still a bad person. The question is always about the person in between. The one that isn't evil, or good, but just ordinary. You don't always know what an ordinary person is like on the inside."
