Neil Gaiman

The one who wrote Coraline, and co-wrote the book of Good Omens and made the TV show, also the Sandman comics writer and co-creator who made the Sandman TV show. Quite nice really.

Hello! I am sending this in out of curiosity and the idle hope that maybe it'll be plucked out of the veritable whirlwind of asks you likely see in your inbox each day.

I recently listened to David Tennant Does a Podcast With... and was pleased to find an episode with you on there! So my question is, have you found it easier to be calm and not feel any nerves when being interviewed over the years? I myself get very anxious when speaking about myself in such situations as a job interview, and I can't imagine what it must be like to have people coming to you to record your responses to questions on your wonderful creations. I imagine it was easier at least with David Tennant, the two of you knowing each other and being friends, but still being recorded is so nerve-wracking I couldn't imagine there not still being some twinge of anxiety.

Whether this gets answered or not, or even read at all, I am sending good vibes out into the world your way, Mr. Gaiman, and wishing you health and happiness. And thank you, for sharing your creations with us 💙

It’s always stressful. The good people at interviewing (and David is one of those) are the ones who make you less stressed when you talk, so you forget in moments that this is being recorded and instead you are just talking.
