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.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I don't like to get in front of people.

The relationship between the public and the artist is complex and difficult to explain. There is a fine line between using this critical energy creatively and pandering to it.
