Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I've never known anyone who wa...

I've never known anyone who was what he or she seemed; or at least, was only what he or she seemed. People carry worlds within them.

It's a wonderful thing, as a writer, to be given parameters and walls and barriers.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Life is always going to be str...

Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

My stuff gets published in some countries as fiction and in some countries as fantasy. It's just where they think it will do best in the bookshops.

Partly because I get such astonishingly nice fans.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

The biggest difference between...

The biggest difference between England and America is that England has history, while America has geography.

The great thing about Batman and Superman, in truth, is that they are literally transcendent. They are better than most of the stories they are in.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

The moment that you feel that ...

The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked...that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

The only people I ever get irritated with are the ones who announce, using my Twitter handle, that they are no longer following me and why.

As a teenager I wrote to R.A. Lafferty. And he responded, too, with letters that were like R.A. Lafferty short stories, filled with elliptical answers to straight questions and simple answers to complicated ones.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I don't know if proud is the right word, but I am somebody who does not, on the whole, have the highest regard for my own stuff in that when I look all I get to see are the flaws.

It's not a bad thing for a writer not to feel at home. Writers - we're much more comfortable at parties standing in the corner watching everybody else having a good time than we are mingling.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Like some kind of particularly tenacious vampire the short story refuses to die, and seems at this point in time to be a wonderful length for our generation.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

The short story is still like ...

The short story is still like the novel's wayward younger brother, we know that it's not respectable - but I think that can also add to the glory of it.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

A good writer should be able to write comedic work that made you laugh, and scary stuff that made you scared, and fantasy or science fiction that imbued you with a sense of wonder, and mainstream journalism that gave you clear and concise information in a way that you wanted it.
