    Their friendship makes me believe in magic.

    I wish the interviewers stopped cutting into the middle of one of his stories to insert themselves into his stories. You've invited the man because you want to hear him speak. Let him bloody well speak!

    I'm genuinely impressed by how Gaiman kept his cool with that guy to his left constantly interrupting him mid-sentence.

      I can't watch this, his interruptions are ruining the whole thing.

      One does not simply repeatedly interrupt Neil Gaiman mid-flow. Frustrating.

    I can imagine those long conversations between Tori and Neil are absolutely fascinating!!!🎶✍️🙏💚

    Until now, Tori and Neil's relationship has only existed in my mind. I love to see them interacting and genuinely caring about each other. I'll smile a little bigger now each time I hear them "stealing" each other's work. :)

    I am in complete shock that a line from my favorite Tori Amos song is about Neil Gaiman and I never ever knew it.

    I can’t help but wonder: what sort of person, while Neil Gaiman is talking, thinks to themselves, “Hmm, well this is good, but you know what would be better is if I interrupt him with MY thoughts...!”
    And where did they find TWO of this sort of people to sit on the stage...? Remarkable.

    When I was in elementary school I read all the fantasy and science fiction in that library. Then junior high. Then highschool. I saved up my allowance and bought the graphic novels Elf Quest. Just because some of us read comics doesn't mean we are illiterate.

    The logical upside of not being a head in a jar on Futurama is that he could awaken from cryostasis intact.

    For being really out of the safe place box: Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" ; Henry Miller "Crazy Cock" ; Tim O'Brien "The Things They Carried"; Peter McWilliams "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do" (chocked full of all kinds of seeds for ideas); and if you like puzzles and long novels and have time to read everything (or nearly) twice Wallace's "Infinite Jest"."

      @NTWoo95 Před 6 lety +1

      segura2112 not that I know, he doesn't get a say in the show at all, Lucifer isn't his character. He's more involved with projects he had control over like American Gods and Good Omens. He owns those characters

    • @alexandersison2030

      Yeah, he had a say in approving the casting of the main character. He also voiced God in Season 2.
