Quotes: Neil Gaiman

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish... Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art or love, or work or family or live. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever."

Quotes: Neil Gaiman

"[Ideas] come from day dreaming, from drifting, that moment when you're just sitting there ... The trouble with these days is that it's really hard to get bored. I have 2.4 million people on Twitter who will entertain me at any moment ... it's really hard to get bored. I'm much better at putting my phone away, going for boring walks, actually trying to find the space to get bored in. That's what I've started saying to people who say 'I want to be a writer.' I say 'great, get bored.'"
