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

I always just wanted to be funny. I never really planned to be scary.

I drive a lot in the summertime, but after that, I don't drive if there's snow predicted for anywhere in 500 miles.

After spending 22 years in Ohio, I love everything about New York.

I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.

I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.

Sometimes it helps to scold yourself, to give yourself advice.
