To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!

We're both thieves, Harvey Swick. I take time. You take lives. But in the end we're the same: both Thieves of Always.

I can see in your eyes that there’s no seam of untapped joy left in you. The best of life has come and gone. Those days when sudden epiphanies swept over you, and you had visions of the rightness of all things and of your place amongst them; they’re history. You’re in a darker place now.

There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.

I love meeting people who've read my books. The prime reason to be on the planet is to make things I can show to other people: paintings, books, movies.

All I ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night

I've always thought that sex and horror belonged together.
