But you can’t really talk about Gaiman without mentioning Sandman.  This weird twisted series has kept me up at night.  Not because I’m afraid but because Gaiman’s dreams are so much better than my own.

Here he discusses his career, the movies and what he hopes for the future.  I’m looking forward to the Coraline movie, especially because the graphic novel was a disappointment.
