Your opinions of others can only go so far as to where their own shoreline is. The world is for your taking, but other people are not.

Before people educate themselves on everything about you, they're not allowed to open their venomous mouthes and have an opinion about you."

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

"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."
"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."

"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."
