The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

Most people come to fear not death itself, but the many terrible ways of dying.

My greatest fear is disappointing the reader, so each book has to be better than the one before.

We fear doing too little when we should do more. Then atone by doing too much, when perhaps we should do less.
