I've never dreamed of a story idea. I have such boring dreams.

I love theme parks but I'm a real chicken on rides. I'd rather invent scary rides for my books than go on them for real.

I do like a lot of things that a lot of adults would scoff at. 'SpongeBob SquarePants,' 'Looney Tunes.'

I believe that kids as well as adults are entitled to books of no socially redeeming value.

I feel happy to terrify kids.

I have a cheat-sheet for each one of my characters about their personality, the way they look, etc. So there is no possible way that I could have writer's block.

I have a great office.
