More quotes by Neil Gaiman

"If you like fantasy and you want to be the next Tolkien, don’t read big Tolkienesque fantasies — Tolkien didn’t read big Tolkienesque fantasies, he read books on Finnish philology. Go and read outside of your comfort zone, go and learn stuff."
"Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost."
"Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent."
"And life is a good thing for a writer. It's where we get our raw material, for a start. We quite like to stop and watch it."
"This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard."
