More From Neil Gaiman
- "There’s a glorious sense of freedom in comedy, just allowing myself to tell jokes, allowing myself to interrupt myself and tell old African folk stories that I made up – or didn’t – and Jamaican stories."
- "A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up."
- "It’s not a bad thing for a writer not to feel at home. Writers – we’re much more comfortable at parties standing in the corner watching everybody else having a good time than we are mingling."
