I had a connoisseur's... appreciation of fear.

I almost always write everything the way it comes out, except I tend much more to take things out rather than put things in. It's out of a desire to really show what's going on at all times, how things smell and look, as well as from the knowledge that I don't want to push things too quickly through to climax; if I do, it won't mean anything. Everything has to be earned, and it takes a lot of work to earn.

An average working day begins at 8 or 9 am, includes an hour for lunch, and ends at 5 or 6 pm.

What was the worst thing you've ever done? I won't tell you that, but I'll tell you the worst thing that ever happened to me...the most dreadful thing.

I wish I'd known at the beginning that all I really had to do is trust myself. Everything would work out as if by magic once I actually leaned back into my imagination and just let it work, and not question it and not fret about it.

Wolves and those who see them are shot on sight.

Close your mouth and get out of the way, because here comes Kelly Link, than whom no one is better.
