Nothing ever begins. There is no first moment; no single word or place from which this or any other story springs.
— Clive Barker
I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.
I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die - it's a major offence.
Be regular and orderly in your life, that you may be violent and original in your work.
You can plan to be brave - it's even better if you just try to be brave.
Gather experience... Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this.
My imagination is my polestar; I steer by that.
