R. L. Stine Kids Quotations

I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I would never miss any of the comic books. I had practically no hair when I was a kid!

I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.

It's my job, too, to keep up with pop culture and what the kids are into 'cause you don't want to sound like an old man trying to write for kids. I spend a lot of my time spying on them.

I got the chance to do things that I dreamed of when I was a kid: I got to travel around the world; I had my own 'Goosebumps' attraction at Disney World; I've been on TV and had three TV series.

Kids think you just sit down and start writing. I always tell them you never do that.

When I was a kid my family was really poor and I remember one Halloween I wanted to dress up really scary and my parents came home with a duck costume. I wore that costume for years! I hated it.

I believe that kids as well as adults are entitled to books of no socially redeeming value.

I feel happy to terrify kids.
