When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books.

You guys are just jealous because i'm a natural athlete and you can't cross the street without falling on your face." -(Bird) Doug

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

I've had a very sheltered life. What can happen to you if you stay home writing all day?

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

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.

I haven't written a young-adult book in years. I'm also doing six 'Goosebumps' books a year now.
