All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy. They never, never, never knew.

I have this idiot name tag which says 'controversial.'

The fan mail I get from kids are asking me questions which they do not ask their mothers and fathers. Because if they had, why write to me, a perfect stranger?

I hate [ebooks]. It's like making believe there's another kind of sex. There isn't another kind of sex. There isn't another kind of book! A book is a book is a book.

As an aspiring artist, you should strive for originality of vision. Have something to say and a fresh way of saying it. No story is worth the writing, no picture worth the making, if it’s not the work of the imagination.

You cannot write for children They're much too complicated. You can only write books that are of interest to them.

'Hansel and Gretel' is one of the scariest stories ever written! Psychotic mother; stupid, inane father.
