The only thing that matters to me about my stories is that they're entertaining and they're funny. And I tend to get bored easily, so I generally throw something supernatural in. I would say they're humorous novels that have a supernatural bent, but that's as close as you're going to get to fitting them all in the same basket.

Christopher Moore

I'm pretty lucky to work on both 'CSI: NY' and 'Supernatural.' Not bad gigs!

Modern society has evolved to the point where we counter the old-fashioned fatalism surrounding the word 'cancer' by embracing the idea of the Uber-mind - that our will possesses nearly supernatural powers.

Abraham Verghese

I think the hardest part about making a scary film is about being able to retain the mystery, especially when it comes to supernatural stuff.

Adam Wingard

Car Art Up

This house I grew up in was built in the 1800s, and the back yard was like a cemetery. Naturally, I grew up in an environment where ghosts and supernatural things were very unnerving to me, because my brothers and I dealt with it on a daily basis.

If buying art is to matter to us deeply, then it has to engage with our emotions and bring something to what one might as well, and with no supernatural associations whatsoever, call our souls.

Alain de Botton

Art Age Yin

In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don't really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it's horrifying. But that's just human nature.

Alan Ball

Nature Life You

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life.

Alan Ball

War Nature Men

I was thinking about vampires and, specifically, about what makes vampires a romantic trope: about what people like about not just vampires but supernaturally long-lived creatures in general, which is a thing that shows up in probably fifty to sixty percent of paranormal romances... And then, for some reason, I decided to reverse it.

Alaya Dawn Johnson

Romantic Which Verse

My manager got the script for 'Under the Dome,' and I read it and just fell in love with the character. I grew up on Stephen King, and I love his whole aesthetic of the classic American story with supernatural events happening, so it just made sense.

Alexander Koch

Love Age Wit

My first book was signed up when I was 13, and I've been writing ever since. But penning the 'Halo' series has been so much more rewarding than I ever expected. For three years, from the age of 16 to 19, I poured my life, my experiences, and a love for the supernatural that dates back to childhood into these books.

Alexandra Adornetto

War Love Life

I'd read a lot of books where the girls are in awe of the supernatural male, so I thought it was time to write about an awesome and super-powerful female who is also quite vulnerable and naive about life on earth.

Alexandra Adornetto

Time Power Life

I always try to have my supernatural or fantasy elements feel grounded in reality so they're easier for the reader to accept and digest.

Alexandra Bracken

Men Ways Way

There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don't accept it and you're having a conversation with someone who does, it's just one of those polite things where you don't question their belief in ghosts. You just go, 'Oh, yeah, okay.' It's amazing to be able to have conversations like that.

Alice Englert

Amazing You Yeah

I love reading about the supernatural, and time-slip novels, and the mistress of both is Barbara Erskine.

Alison Weir

Time Love Up

I prefer to write about what we refer to as 'the supernatural' versus everyday life. Humans, by themselves, bore me.

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Life Write Very

Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.

Amelia Barr

Life Whatever Up

I think it's important to realize that we're all just human. I mean, nobody is supernatural.

Amy Lee

Us Up Think

I am not supernatural. I'm just myself.

Andre The Giant

Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies; he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge.

Andrew Coyle Bradley

Knowledge Age Witches

I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.

Anna Paquin

Work Time Art

I'm going to keep on dealing with the supernatural in a lot of ways.

Anne Rice

I don't want to say I hear voices; well, actually I do hear voices, but I don't think it's supernatural. I think it's just that when characters are given enough texture and backbone, then lo and behold, they stand on their own.

Anne Tyler

The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.

Anthony Hopkins

I love the idea that magic and witchcraft and battles between supernatural creatures could be raging all around us but just out of our sight.

Anthony Horowitz

The greatest question of all is whether our experience on this planet is 'it' or whether there is something else. Things in the supernatural realm give support, strangely perhaps, to the things we take on faith.

Art Bell

The Church's note must be a supernatural note which distinguishes incarnation from immanence, redemption from evolution, the Kingdom of God from mere spiritual process.

Arthur Middleton

It seems so easy to write about some normal event and twist it a little bit to make it into a supernatural event.

Arthur Slade

While there are perfectly legitimate criticisms that one can make of Israel or the actions of its government - and I have never been shy about making them - those criticisms cross the line into anti-Semitism when they ascribe evil, almost supernatural powers to Israel in a manner that replicates classic anti-Semitic slanders.

Bari Weiss

I'd like to quit the supernatural roles and play just an interesting, down-to-earth person.

Bela Lugosi

On 'Supernatural,' you go to a location and another location, and every week they do amazing things up there. You have to kind of hit the ground running and really start to look to the core of the story you're trying to tell.

Ben Edlund

I walk in the realm of the supernatural.

Benny Hinn

Only the supernatural love of God through changed lives can solve the problems that we face in our world.

Billy Graham

Faith Words aren't just mere positive affirmations; they open your life up to the supernatural power of God.

Bo Sanchez

One of the reasons Batman works as a character is that it's not beyond possibility that he could exist - you could become Batman if you had a billion dollars at your disposal. There's nothing paranormal or superhuman or supernatural about that character. And I think his villains work the same way. You could be one of his villains just as easily.

Brian Azzarello

I think to describe 'The Gates' as a genre show is tricky because when you think of what's a vampire show or what's a supernatural kind of thing, I think other shows... maybe focus on that element probably slightly more than our show does.

Chandra West

Most of the books that feature supernatural characters blending with the modern world and are usually set in big cities.

Charlaine Harris

Two fundamental literary qualities: supernaturalism and irony.

Charles Baudelaire

In every religion there is an element of the supernatural, varying with the influence of pure reason over its devotees.

Charles Eastman

Man can know his world without falling back on revelation; he can live his life without feeling his utter dependence on supernatural powers.

Christopher Dawson

It is impossible for us to understand the Church if we regard her as subject to the limitations of human culture. For she is essentially a supernatural organism which transcends human cultures and transforms them to her own ends.

Christopher Dawson

Has made an honest woman of the supernatural.

Christopher Fry

The fact that 'A Dirty Job' has comedy and supernatural horror in it, that both are woven in and out of it with a whimsical tone, despite the fact that it's about death, makes it hard to characterize with standard genre labels - but I have no problem with that. I'd call it a funny story about death, and leave it at that.

Christopher Moore

The only thing that matters to me about my stories is that they're entertaining and they're funny. And I tend to get bored easily, so I generally throw something supernatural in. I would say they're humorous novels that have a supernatural bent, but that's as close as you're going to get to fitting them all in the same basket.

Christopher Moore

I like very human stories that venture into sci-fi or the supernatural or areas that I think occupy a lot of space in our collective memory for the films that we loved as children.

Colin Trevorrow

I think there's something about supernatural shows that people see and just want to put me in them! I don't know. I just finished another show - 'The Nine Lives of Chloe King,' with Skyler Samuels, who was my girlfriend in 'The Gates' - and I play another supernatural character on that show.

Colton Haynes

I grew up in a small town in Kansas, so I love meeting the fans. Those are the people who spend time out of their day to watch the things that I've done, and I've gotten to do some great supernatural stuff - 'Teen Wolf' and 'The Gates' before that - so it's nice when I get to go to Comic-Con every year.

Colton Haynes

When I went to university, I decided that I would like to do something related to plant ecology, because I felt that plants were so beautiful. When I am studying plants, I feel like I am talking with some kind of supernatural life, like I am talking with someone who does not speak.

Corneille Ewango

I was dirt-poor. I could barely hold down a job. Eventually, though, I started getting small parts on shows like 'Smallville,' 'Supernatural'... and lots of really bad sci-fi movies. I was running around the woods in wolf contacts, covered in fake blood made out of pancake syrup, roaring.

Cory Monteith

I have always loved westerns... supernatural westerns in particular. One of my first professional short story sales was a horror/western story. It wasn't so great, though, so I'm glad the magazine folded before it saw print.

Cullen Bunn

Before we understood that houses shift just over time because the ground is moving, the creaks in a house were assumed to be apparitions, or ghosts. Before we understood that we live on a planet, and there are others, the only answers to where we came from had to be something supernatural.
