Heaven would never be heaven without you.

No longer will you be a weird Robinson Crusoe, imprisoned on an island of night surrounded by oceans of death.

I think we're yearning for something beyond the every day. And I will tell you that I don't believe in the supernatural, I believe in the supernormal. To me there is nothing that goes against nature. If it seems incomprehensible, it's because we haven't been able to understand it yet.

When I'm writing, especially when I'm writing in first person, I don't think about the characterization, or how they are going to express themselves, I just express my own approach to these things. I think most writers can never divorce themselves from their private lives and personas; they are the ones that are writing. And the more they remove themselves from their own persona, the more, perhaps, mechanical the work becomes.

When you sleep, your dream world is as real to you as life, isn’t it?

Because there was only one thing worse than dying. And that was knowing you were going to die. And where. And how. (“Death Ship”)

I had to write about realistic circumstances. Thats the way my brain works. And I think that gave me a sort of place in the field.
