I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.

There's nothing particularly dark in my past... I live in the light. My disposition is basically happy. I have a good life.

I'm a very happy-go-lucky lover of all mankind as a person in real life. So when I play a darker character, I have to tap into something that isn't my natural way, and what I found was that I think human beings have the potential for all of these emotions.

I don't like the dark. I really am afraid of the dark.

People always tell me my books are so dark; I don't think they're particularly dark. I'm not like that. I'm quite a cheerful soul.

I still don't love the darkness, though I've learned to smile in it a little bit, now and then.

Despite what people might think, I'm not interested in being dark all the time. I'm actually searching for some kind of light, and I'm always very happy when I can achieve that.

Misery's fine - as long as you know you can get out of it when you want to.
