I broke with my religion in college.
I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.
I'm going to keep on dealing with the supernatural in a lot of ways.
I'm always looking, and I'm always asking questions.
That process by which you become a writer is a pretty lonely one. We don't have a group apprenticeship like a violinist might training for an orchestra.

The vampires have always been metaphors for me. They've always been vehicles through which I can express things I have felt very, very deeply.
First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success.
I do not read the ancient languages, but I am beginning to study Greek.
I do want to go another way - to write something completely different.
I enjoy the Web site a lot and I like being able to talk to my readers. I've always had a very close relationship with them.
I feel like an outsider, and I always will feel like one. I've always felt that I wasn't a member of any particular group.
Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.
The world doesn't need any more mediocrity or hedged bets.
