For example, I noticed that every single kid in the high school in 'The Death-Ray' is based on somebody I went to high school with.
For me, the whole process involves envisioning this book in my head as I'm working.
I was 30 before I made a living that was not embarrassing.
I think that's what we're all most terrified about: that we'll just die and disappear and we'll leave no trace.
I think I've had the fantasy of a ray-gun that could erase the world from the time I was a very little kid.
I'm a fan of parchment and wood pulp.

I have cultivated a little crew of people whose opinions I understand. It's like the way you'd follow certain film critics because you know what their criteria are, and you may not agree with them, but you can glean from their opinion how you will feel about a film.

I had no television when I was little, just a stack of old, beat-up comics from the 1950s and 1960s.
I don't read much of anything online.
