I try to not read about myself. I think it's easier to have it out of sight and out of mind.

I don't think people like to read about themselves or about others as they really are. It would be too horrifying.

Even during my career, when I read all those great things about me, it's almost like I was reading about someone else. It's almost like there was another person.

I don't write that much horror. People tell me my books are scary, but they're not really; I don't go there.

Sometimes it's nice for people not to know anything about me.

I have this almost pathological fear of boring the reader.

It's weird when people come up to me and know stuff about my life. That sort of creeps me out.

I think there are always people that you meet in your life that scare you a little, but not because of the terror in their eyes so much as their unpredictability.

I surround myself with bizarre people. They're more fun to write about.

I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.
