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.

It was very gray, very dreary. Everything was still rationed when I first saw the United States in 1951. I went over to visit my sister who was a war bride.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

My husband and I click wedding rings sometimes and say, 'By the power of the Castle of Greyskull!'
