Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don't want to watch them on TV.
- Hard Look

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to work as hard. Actually, I've had to take a good hard look at workaholism and it's effect on one's mental health.

Death showed up in my life very early on, so I'm aware of it. If you look at most of the things I write there's a sort of contemplation of mortality - although 'True Blood' doesn't fall into that. Even though there's such a ridiculously high body count!
- Character

Ultimately, physical resemblance isn't as important as whether this person can bring this character to life in a way that's compelling and makes me care about what happens to them.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a lot harder to find fault with the mundane details of daily existence when you really, really know on a cellular level that you're going to go, and that this moment, right now, is life. Life isn't what happens to you in 20 years. This moment, right now, is your life.
- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
Life is infinitely complex, and I feel like we live in a culture that really seems to want to simplify it into sound bites and bromides, and that does not work.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Life is too mysterious to try to map it out. I've certainly lived long enough to know it will take you places you never thought it would take you - and some of those places are kind of wonderful.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don't really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it's horrifying. But that's just human nature.
- Heart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life.
- My Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a huge freak, and always have been. I spent the first part of my life trying really desperately not to be one, and it was just a waste of time.
- Love Is
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never believed much in that holding hands kind of love. I've always thought that love is about two different personalities trying to confront life, trying to make sense of their responsibilities, to themselves, to each other, and to the wider society.

I have the nicest life in the world.
- Nobody

- Nov 07, 2020
Your whole life is on the other side of the glass. And there is nobody watching.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't complain that I've had a public all through my writing life, but people don't quite know what I've written. People don't read you too closely. Perhaps, after I've died, they'll look at my stuff, and read it through, and find there's more in it. That may be wrong, but that's what I comfort myself with.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd somehow always thought of the classics of literature as something apart from me, something to do with academic life and not something you enjoyed.
- My Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been very lucky in everything, really - in my career and in finding someone to share my life with, and in not dying.
