Bits I can remember from last night's Neil Gaiman Q & A:

[moon_custafer]

Q: If you could be a mythological monster, like a zombie, vampire, whatever, what kind would you be?
A: Not a zombie, because I find them rather dull, that's sort of the point -- I mean, no one ever says "O look, what an interesting zombie." I wouldn't be a vampire, because I'd be worried about my hair all the time, not being able to check it in a mirror. I think I'd like to be one of those people with snakes for hair, because you'd always have company. And you turn people to stone, so you'd never be short of decorative statuary.

(Many questions later)

Q: What can a person do to not be lonely?
A: Have snakes for hair. Then you can talk to the snakes. Failing that, I suppose you could try talking to other people.
