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.

I literally in the New York flea market - just when I was despairing of ever having a great serendipitous find - found a 1926 Chanel.

The latest page I've been working is about the organization of the pantheon of the gods. Who's indebted to whom, how they are related, who screwed whose uncle or grandmother, all of that.

Being down in Orlando, Florida, where we filmed the movie, I learned how to bass fish. Jerry Reed, who plays the villain in the movie, taught me how to bass fish.
