In general, shorter is better. If you can encapsulate your idea into a single captivating sentence, you're halfway home.

I hate the crazy, neurotic characters beyond a certain point.

I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.

I've had editors over the years who couldn't find a clue if it was stapled to their butt.

I would like immortality.

I'm still a fanboy geek. I always will be. In many ways, if my work still resonates with the audience, it's because I'm still writing from the point of view of the fan, so I'm geeked out constantly.

I try to find what makes even the worst, most despicable character sympathetic at his or her core.
