Lies are neither bad nor good. Like a fire they can either keep you warm or burn you to death, depending on how they're used.

Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.

I'm not a horror fan. I'm an anti-horror fan. I think horror fans feel deep down in the pit of their souls, they feel safe, and therefore bored. And therefore they want to be scared.

There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.

Since 2001, people have been scared. There's been some really scary stuff that's been happening - 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS. I think people really feel like the system's breaking down.

Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.

My coping mechanism with my dyslexia is to use wit and humor.
