“On the night of the murder I was at home, asleep. The characters in my dream can vouch for me.”
“The only characters I ever don't like are ones that leave no impression on me. And I don't write characters that leave no impression on me.”
“I write to keep the characters in my head from driving me crazy.”
“So here I am writing my zombie story and my lead character decides to betray me.”
