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

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

I'm a total Disney freak. I want to live in Disney World.

Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different styles.

Most fears are basic: fear of the dark, fear of going down in the basement, fear of weird sounds, fear that somebody is waiting for you in your closet. Those kinds of things stay with you no matter what age.

I feel happy to terrify kids.

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