I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.
From Dean Koontz
Books were this wonderful escape for me because I could open a book and disappear into it, and that was the only way out of that house when I was a kid.
The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion.
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it.
I don't write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.
What we do as a society is seek simple answers.
I think the world is full of evil people. I think in some ways we're in more danger now than before.
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.
