Ransom Riggs

When you're looking through bins of thousands of random, unsorted photos, every hundredth one or so will have some writing on it.

I try to imagine the scenes as I'm writing them as if I were watching them play like a film.

I think my background in film taught me that a great book adaptation is not always slavishly faithful to the source material.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
