I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.

When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say.

I think it's important to realize that we're all just human. I mean, nobody is supernatural.

Science operates in the natural, not the supernatural. In fact, I go so far as to state that there is no such thing as the supernatural or the paranormal.

I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.

As a scientist, of course, we have to believe there is no supernatural. There are only natural entities in the universe. And those are the things that we study as natural scientists.

When I'm writing books, something weird happens; and the result is the books contain a large amount of what you could call 'supernaturalism.' As a writer, I find I need that to explain the world I'm writing about.

We all live in some kind of home, so the idea that our home could be invested with a supernatural entity is kind of frightening, I think.

And, of course, supernatural elements just make a story more interesting.
