I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

I want to find someone who's really into something like I'm really into something so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.

Horror for me has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

Perhaps all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels male as well as female.

I'm very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill - I want to be a director and I've already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It's something very personal to me.

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored but I had dreams for singing or writing.

Screenplays I didn't really care about journalism travel books getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.

It is easier to learn to interpret dreams if you have a reason to use them for something constructive. You apply your dream insights to making constructive changes in your life.

I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.
