Zombies are apocalyptic. I think that's why people love them because we're living in, not apocalyptic times, but I think we're living in fear of the apocalyptic times.

When I read Frank Miller's 'The Dark Knight Returns', I think it's a wonderful record of the Reagan era. I think it's amazing. This is the time I lived in.

I think 'G.I. Joe' is a perfect example of how I'm the world's worst businessman. If I were smart, I'd be writing 'World War Z Part 12', but I have to go where the muse leads, and I've always been a huge 'G.I. Joe' fan. I always wanted to know more about these characters, these little plastic figures I played with as a kid.
- Nobody

- Nov 07, 2020
I wrote 'The Zombie Survival Guide' because I wanted to read it, and nobody else was writing it. All I've been doing with everything I've written is answering questions that I had.
- Money

- Nov 07, 2020
When I was 16, the first book I ever actually purchased with my own money, in fact, and had read on my own time was 'Hunt for Red October' by Tom Clancy.
- History

Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I started writing, there was nothing about zombies. It was all teen movies, which to me are scarier than zombies, but that's another story.

Zombies are so popular. There's a lot of chaff out there. For every one person who is legitimately passionate about zombies, there are a hundred people who are thinking, 'Hey, I can make a buck off of this.' The problem is that some of their stuff is so lame.
- Crisis
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think Americans are at our best when we recover from a crisis. We've suffered some blows that other countries would have never recovered from.
- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
Since 2001, people have been scared. There's been some really scary stuff that's been happening - 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS. I think people really feel like the system's breaking down.
- Deep Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not a horror fan. I'm an anti-horror fan. I think horror fans feel deep down in the pit of their souls, they feel safe, and therefore bored. And therefore they want to be scared.
- Remember

I remember I used to come up to my teacher crying because I couldn't read. She would say: 'You can do this. You just don't want to do this.'
- Me

I wanted to serve. It was Desert Storm. I thought, 'I was a rich kid, and America's been good to me.'
- Heart

- Nov 07, 2020
Zombie books were going to be my passion projects, but certainly not pay the bills. I thought I was going to have to get a real job on a sitcom or something, and have my zombie books to remind myself I was still a writer at heart. I never thought I could actually pay my bills and write what I wanted.
- Government

- Nov 07, 2020
Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse - no water, food, medical care, the government imploding - while letting us sleep at night.
- Night

- Nov 07, 2020
If I knew anything about what people wanted and was popular, I'd still be writing for 'Saturday Night Live'. I can only write what I want, and hopefully people will like it.
- Job

- Nov 07, 2020
I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.'

You assume things, like whatever country has more firepower wins the wars, and that's actually not true at all.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We live in such a service-based, globalised economy where very few people actually make anything and the people who do make stuff... it's all part of a massive global supply chain. So what if all those chains were suddenly cut, how would you make something? How would you keep people alive? And that was something I wanted to explore.
- Bottom Line

- Nov 07, 2020
The bottom line is I'm a slow zombie guy - I'm always a slow zombie guy but I also know I'm in the minority.
