Neil Gaiman in Singapore
I got the chance to interview the lovely Neil Gaiman again after his first visit here 4 years ago. Here are the photos: first me very very pregnant in 2005 with Neil and then very unpregnant in 2009
What can I say? It’s amazing to be in the same room with a mind that is sharp, witty, expansive, omnivorous and best of all, just really nice and down to earth. It was really nice chatting to him after the interview as well, and you come to understand why he’s so beloved of his fans. It’s not just that the universes he creates are so encompassing and vivid, it’s also that he’s a truly genuine guy who really tries to connect with each person that he meets. I’ve interviewed quite a few celebrities in my short career, but even then, I can tell you that that is pretty rare. So kudos to the people who braved thunderstorms, waited in line patiently and lugged enormous copies of Ultimate Sandman all around the shop – it IS totally worth it.
Check out my 2 part interview with him Wednesday on Primetime Morning – he talks about his new book about the Chinese legend “Journey to the West”, his relationship with Amanda Palmer and his best advice for writers…
