Everything that has happened to me has been amazing and surprising.

I've never dreamed of a story idea. I have such boring dreams.

Most fears are basic: fear of the dark, fear of going down in the basement, fear of weird sounds, fear that somebody is waiting for you in your closet. Those kinds of things stay with you no matter what age.

I always just wanted to be funny. I never really planned to be scary.

I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.
