- I was a massive horror, fantasy and science fiction fan; and when I was young, people still read a lot of books. Going to school, people would be talking about James Bond *books*, as opposed to films. Talking about the fact that his testicles get beaten on in "Casino Royale"! Which, nowadays, sounds like something out of a cheap gay porn mag; but at the time was deeply shocking.
- [2000 interview with SF Site, on getting started writing] I knew Clive Barker. He lived up the road from me; we drank in the same local. He had an editor called Barbara Boote, and he'd already written "The Books of Blood", or at least one of them. The first one came out, and I suddenly realized that I had enough material for a book of short stories. And they published it. That gave me the nerve to write a longer piece, which was "Roofworld".
