Zombie books were going to be my passion projects, but certainly not pay the bills. I thought I was going to have to get a real job on a sitcom or something, and have my zombie books to remind myself I was still a writer at heart. I never thought I could actually pay my bills and write what I wanted.

With so much protection, wouldn't one be able to wander among the undead ranks, taunting them at will with no danger of repercussion?

I think that most people would rather face the light of a real enemy than the darkness of their imagined fears.

I wrote 'The Zombie Survival Guide' because I wanted to read it, and nobody else was writing it. All I've been doing with everything I've written is answering questions that I had.

When I believe in my ability to do something, there is no such word as no.

If I knew anything about what people wanted and was popular, I'd still be writing for 'Saturday Night Live'. I can only write what I want, and hopefully people will like it.

They didn't break me. I broke myself.
