I feel that good fantasy will always be in demand. I think children especially need literature that helps them escape from the real world, which is very scary to them right now. ↗

I love theme parks but I'm a real chicken on rides. I'd rather invent scary rides for my books than go on them for real. ↗

I really wanted to be a cartoonist, and I was in 4th or 5th grade and I would bring my drawings in, and I'd look around, and everyone could draw better than me. Everyone. My drawings were just awful. So that's why I had to write. ↗

I set a goal for myself everyday when I write - 10 pages a day - and it's much harder because I'm too dumb to turn off my Twitter and everything so it's always on and it's a real distraction. It's a major distraction. ↗

I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life. ↗

Kids think you just sit down and start writing. I always tell them you never do that. ↗

Normally, I spend a week on the outline and take two weeks to write the book. ↗

People always ask, 'How do you write so many books?' And I say, I work a lot. I work six or seven days a week. ↗
